I've just revised the forums login and registration page so hopefully now you can sign up and view. For some reason someone had disabled it. Luckily I'm admin 👍

 

I think the standard 8v mount is the same as the mk2 golf 1.6/1.8 and and mk3 engines, can't remember if the 16v ones are any different, I think it was suggested a 16v mount allow it to sit a little lower which helps if you have a early style bonnet, but it's no issues with a standard mount on mine

I'm half way through doing this 1.8t swap on my 94 2.0 16v, I'm using the AUM engine and going DBW for ease of mapping and the fact that the me7 ecu is so much better than the me3 off the agu lump. Me and a mate have almost finished making the loom, hoping to try it out at the weekend.

I had a Lotus Exige that I converted to 1.8t using an AGU engine running on Emerald K6 management and an Impreza VF35 turbo, that went quite well. :)

Another hands up for the 18T fuel economy... probably the best MPG performance car I've ever run. reasonably modified AUM that rolled just shy of 240bhp

 

You can just sit on the torque and down the motorway at a fair old rate it would nudge high 30's and 40's without to much problem.

 

But... boot it and it will guzzle, it was dam good fun thou... what VW let leave the factory as a MK4 GTI was a pig, but once a few bits were done it was a formidable weapon.
