Maybe its worth it to check some Ausy sites as their currency conversion is quite fine to eur or gbp. Ill try to ask a friend.

Can't help but think a complete VAG 2.0 TSi and DSG swap might be the cheaper option for 400bhp and a sequential gearbox. Engine mounts and driveshafts are already available in the UK, another £1k get you a proper LSD.

I'd be interested in people views?

Whilst there's been quite a bit of work done by Stav etc I don't think the full swap kit is quite there.from what I've seen.

400hp will still need rods and a few other bits.

If I'd have not gone built 2zz when I did so, I'd have probably gone down the 1.8t route.
1zz turbo. Home built and home mapped.

Now 2zz turbo. Home built and home mapped

Ecumaster also has built-in dsg control. Has had for a while.
So, that should be an easy one for you.

Gregg at RRR has done it in a few cars, and that was a few years ago. Probably done a handful by now.
...neutiquam erro.

I was referring to the 2.0T EA888 Gen3 engine which seems to be good for 400 bhp with a remap.
