its alot of fabrication with no clear cut way around it, all that i have seen have been done differently so if your looking for a how to then you may struggle although there is way more room for it in a mk2 than 1.

If Mike fitted a VR6 into a MK1 then I'd guess there would be loads of room in a MK2. Go for it!

That would be amazing. Was going to get an 850 T5. It was well quick and that was in a big estate. Never heard of one in a Scirocco so I'd assume it wouldn't go in or someone would have already done it?

c'mon, someone's gotta want it! comes with engine loom, ecu, clocks and whatever other bits of the car you'll need/want to get it running. it's even got a new cambelt on it
