you could do the T on a budget of 1500 including a decent loom, and cooler and stuff.
not sure about the VR

I would rather do the VAG lump which is just as easy as you can buy a plug and play loom for it. Urban myth that its a hard conversion  You even retain the stock mk2 GTi g/box.
More tunable and fun IMO just dont sound as throaty

The G60 engine is a good conversion, me and my mate built his Scirocco.
Engine was £1k, plus 400 for Stage 1 charger and other cash for toothed belt and pulleys. Running 200bhp now.
Having said that, the 1.8T conversion is cheap. Can send a mk2 loom away and get it converted dead easy by some company.

Humm, if possible i would have thought a 1.8t lump would be preferred option, the one out of the cupra r, audi TT cus there 225bhp.
They fit them to alot of cars at Stealth racing thats down the road from me, they have to put them on DTA engine management, but that ups the power to 250bhp+.
I would have thought to get that power from a VR6 you would have to supercharge it?

get a VR6 from a corrado, and keep it in the corrado
the handling is most amazing
whats a mk2, then an engine, then fitting, then teething probs gonna cost in time and money?
