Low Cost Performance for a VW Jetta?

[blackshine007]

yup, honestly...you would take a 2.0 8v over a 1.8t to start with knowing the tunablity of each?

Honestly, I would. I wouldn't use a 3rd gen jetta chassis, though, but rather a gen2 golf chassis, like an '86 model. And then put GTI running gear on it. That would be hot as hell and boost the snot out of it

that would be fine for a swap, i thought we were talking stock motor/chassis combos.
