Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 3, 2010 Isn't the Passat one longitudinally mounted? If so you'll have swap the sump for a transverse one and possibly change the manifolds aswell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob_B 0 Posted November 3, 2010 pretty sure the passat runs an external water pump aswell. engine mounts will need changing aswell. real chore to use the passat engine, which is why they are cheap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JONNYBOY32 0 Posted November 4, 2010 Ok thanks guys for that, something told me that i wouldnt be 2 compatible, nothing to do with that it only runs at 150 bhp! Back to the search for engine again. just a quick question, should i be posting my threads in the forced induction 20v thread? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob_B 0 Posted November 4, 2010 150bhp is no problem. Pre 2002 will map to 210 post 2002 will map to 230. Have a gander at the 20v section and post in there and I will help you out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
