and a head thats one of the worst flowing in automotive history lol.
IMO Vrs are a more durable/reliable motor. I know a ton of people including myself that have high mileage reliable VRs. 1.8ts are good motors, but have a bunch of stupid problems. there are a lot of people making 450+ on completely stock VRs with a head gasket spacer, many of which have over 100k on them.
not to mention a VR-T is prob the best sounding motor (not counting exotics)
