Anyone know of possible problems with swapping a 2.0 from a 2002 Cabrio and a 1.8T from a 2002 Passat (besides voiding the warranty on both cars)?

I seem to recall something about this on: www.vwvortex.com

Just check the forums and do a search. I have a 2.0 in my '99 Golf and a 1.8T in my '02 Passat, but I'm curious about why you are switching? Also, I believe there's a GTI with the 1.8T being sold now...2003?

I already have both cars ... I may be willing to sell the Passat for a different project altogether. I will check vwvortex out. Thanks.

well the 2002 cabby is transverse mounted and the passt is mounted longitudal(sp?)

Both would require tons of custom work and the passat would be dog f'n slow with a Nat Aspirated 2.0 outta the cabby
