    Well, I absolutely love the sound the VR6 makes. The 1.8T sounds decent, but I find the constant spooling of the tiny stock turbo annoying. If it had a larger turbo that doesn't spool til 2500rpm or so it would be okay...

    But the reason I say a 1.8T into the Mk1 chassis is because its the closest in weight to the stock engine. The VR6 would ruin the weight balance. I'm going to do this one day.
