Yeah but you have a 1.8t in a MKIV. Imagine that power in a car that weighs considerably less!!!
So are you just getting this as a fixer upper or are you going to go all out with it?

Well I'm assuming it's a 1.6?
You can have my 1.8 JH and have it decked and honed, cam it, and throw on a header and you'll have a quick little car!

its either a JH or a 2H engine code, if its an 84 it "should be JH" which is a 90 hp 10.0-1 CR motor. one of the best at the time. to a TT exhaust a nice cam and make sure the CIS functions well and you got a damn good runner
