20 Valve TT engine swap

Post by marcelrafferty »

Hi I'm looking to do the infamous 20 valve engine swap inspired by Qpeng, my 2 litre 3A blueprinted engine on 75bhp of Nos just isnt enough!
Has anybody done this to their rocco.
Any ideas on the manifold / steering rack clearance?

Doing one at the minute bud,

Clearances are fine with the correct mounts =)

Turbo is near to the bulkhead so can warm your feet but nothing some padding wont cure

hope that helped
