1.8T Bam conversions

[ukwill]

am currently toying with the idea of shoeing a 225bhp 1.8t lump into our runabout (6n2 Polo Gti). has anyone else looked into this or better still, done it?

any pointers to good specialists/breakers would be appreciated.

cheers

There's been plenty of these done, if you look for back issues of Performance VW and Golf + you'll see plenty. Only a few months ago PVW had one on the cover with 330 BHP IIRC.
I suspect they must be a huge amount of fun.

Speak to Eli at Voodoo Motorsport in Aylesbury - clever fellow.

Dont just limit yourself to a BAM engine code. That is the one everyone goes for because they think its the only one with 225hp from a TT.

you can use any of these

Just out of interest, do these engines swap straight in (obvisouley changing gearbox and stuff) with the standard Polo or Cordoba mounts?

No. Have to fabricate subframes.

i would suggest the engine audi did for the s3 (210bhp) I have heard its more reliable, and i think you can do more to it aswell, this is just what i have heard though...
