Make sure you get another 1.8T out of a longitudinal VAG platform. If you get a 1.8T from say a GTI you are going to need to make a lot of changes to make it work. The engines have mostly the same components (Minus Transmission connections) but they are all in difference places with different mounting points. ---

Thanks guys By the research I’ve been doing regarding a replacement engine it has to be 01 and newer and be from a auto car. If anyone knows this to be a false statement please let me know because it limits me lol
