So the 9a is a 2.0 16v short block? I heard the only 2.0 16v sold in oz was the ABF in a seat. Anyway how hard (read expensive) is it to bore out kr 1.8 to 2.0?Quote:

9a was not sold in Oz. But you can bring em in!
I think you could use a 2L bottom end and use different pistons, or bore out the 1.8 and use expensive pistons. Either way, It`ll cost you.
alas it is a labour of love and money.... wat u put in you get out :)
Indeed. It's my guess there will be quite a few 16v turbos running around in the future :twisted:Quote:

to get the record straight under 20 16v 9a engines were sold in passats in 1991/2,so there are a few of theses babies about....there are more abf 16v seat engines available producing more hp.remember driving the new passat in 91 thinking the engine was **** hot until the first drive with a abf code 16v.....cheers steve
