Not sure what's the best way to go with the engine, maybe petrol if you're going to touch it anyway?

That is what I was thinking. But then the question is what do I do?

1) 1.8L 8V
2) 2.0L 8V
3) 1.8T 20V
4) 2.0T(Mk5 GTi motor)

The possibilities are endless. Depends on how much I can afford at the time of making the decision.

Will the Mk5 motor be more hassle to engineer?

Otherwise most powerful NA that will be easiest to get in.

The Mk5 motor I will need to modify the dash as the dash helps run the motor and make a fair few mods for the front suspension and brakes etc.

But it is doable. And the Mk5 motor is turbo charged which could do with an APR mapping or stage upgrade.

The turbo would be awesome if you can swing am that but I'd be happy with a better NA engine and enjoy it.

True that. So I’m contemplating what to do. I was even thinking a 1.9TDi or 2.0TDi.

And then do a stand alone mapping system to help with low end torque.

You've got some options, that's for sure.

I guess what's available will help you decide.

Sure do have some options. For now all I want to do is get her on the road and enjoy her. It’s been a process and a half to get to this point with all sorts of stuf going on.

But I’m making it happen and just staying focused on the basics.
