Hi i was wondering if any one has had experience or knows about rabbit 6 cly conversions i was looking to se if it is possible to throw a 6 cly turbo diesel under the hood to run for more power and still get good gas unlike its 25 mpg gas twin thank you for any input

Why not use a 1.9TDI out of a MKIII Jetta? Probably way easier and with how light the Rabbit is, it's plenty of torque to get you off the line.

Look up quality German auto parts. They import German diesel motors that are perfect for the swap into a Mk1. I'm doing a 1.6 NA to 1.9TD AAZ swap right now and it's pretty straight forward.
