Just a quick one, There's a MK5 GTi Turbo engine forsale that ive got my eye on.... Would it be a straight forward swap into a MK4? Mount's and all that in the same place? Or would i just be better off gettin myself the 20vT out of a MK4? Cheers, Mike
the mounts are the same, as gearbox's providing it's i6 speed -so drive shaft should be OK - worth pinching mk5 ones for sure I do know a professional tuner / converter that recently done same one, took him a while and went though loads of ECU's to get it running - worth noting
I'm assuming you already have a Mk4, and it's not got a 1.8t in? If so, you'd be better off selling that, and getting a GTi with the 1.8t in already. Then you don't have to do an engine swap, which will cost more than buying a GTi, and you won't have insurance headaches, etc, etc, etc. Also, if you want to drop the FSi engine in, you will have a much better base.
