The turbo is “right there” and the whole hot side can be replaced very quickly. More room to work than most. > And for major repairs, once you’ve gotten a car to “service position” with the front end off, it’s really an easy job to do most anything including pulling the block. The first time can be fun, but after you’ve pulled the front off once, it’s very easy to do again. Just have to learn the “tricks”. Tell me that when you have to pull your motor when you swap rods mr. longitudal favorite. I swapped my transverse motor and the front end comes apart easier then an Audi, less crap to take off. I have done a timing belt on a 1.8T AEB motor, that was easy because you have to remove the whole front end to get to the timing belt crap 😛 Both are ‘enjoyable’ in their own right. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/i-quit/201185)._
