    hi guys, im trying to sell my jetta as i have another car, but its not getting much interest so im considering giving it some time this summer and smarten it up a bit. Ive always wanted a bit more omph so thinking i might play around with the engine.
    Id love to get it out and give the bay a good clean, make it look really smart, i could just clean up the original 16v but while its out...was thinking either:
    abf
    2l bottom end
    vr6
    20vt

    I dont really fancy the turbo as i dont really get on very well with turbo cards, i like the vr6 but have heard stories of thirsty consumption and quite heavy. So i guess im swaying towards the 2l bottom end but i want to do something interesting rather than just rebuilding the original. I havent really got much a clue of what angle to go with the car.
    Anyone got any opinions, comments etc??

    I think you should VR it. Get the right suspension set up on there and it'll still handle :thumbup:
