Hi I'm new to this forum but wanted to join to speak with people who know abit about engine swaps.
iv got a 2.0 vw bora at the moment and its a real looker with flip paint, body kit, bonnet vents, exhaust etc... so i don't really want to get rid of the car but i would like something a fair bit quicker.
iv been looking at the 20v 1.8t engines from the mk4 golf/bora and i can get one from around £450 (don't know if that's cheaper not). I'm not expecting to be able to do the work myself for the swap but want to know how much work is actually involved and how difficult it is to do.
is this probably the best way to go with the engine then maybe uprated turbo with an intercooler. or is there a much easier way to get better power with what i already have?
thanks alot
Wayne
