    Seen them in quite a few golfs now.

    Cant really see the point when a 20V turbo engine would go in far easier and is just as good.

    They probably chose the c20let cause it has a flatter cam cover or something, bloody "scene" points no doubt lmao

    Probably the old 'just to be different' argument lmao

    Does look quite at home though and I bet it goes well

    I love the way he clearly knows NOTHING about cars, but has diagnosed it needs a remap to sort it.

    Given that its not even mappable, then unless he has changed the chips or injectors, it certainly wont be the map that the problem is.

    Plus of course if it is running monstrously rich like he says, and its been like that since it was rebuilt, it wont have run in properly cause of the bore wash and will need another rebuild now lmao

    Still cool though, I'd like that as a run around

    I agree chip why would u put a c20let in a what could be a 1.8 vag lump that is easier / more tuneable straight out the box, does look funky though I like it because it's different lol.

    Be interesting to see what involved, but as said, he knows nothing about it (just shouts pistonheads swap that he's inherited)

    I'd like to buy that and just strip it down to see how they have done it!

    That's 1 way to beat that pesky N75 valve anyway.
