Hi guys,
I understand to see 'Corrado' in the subject heading is a bit unheard of, especially on a forum dedicated to Mk5 GTI's, but bear with me.
As I've already briefly mentioned in the newbie section, I drive a '92, what was a G60, but recently removed the engine with the intention of putting something a bit unique as a replacement. I considered all sorts of engines, S3, R32, supercharged VR6 and even an S4 V6 Bi-turbo, which I'm sad to say I didn't opt for due to the amount of modification required to get it to fit
. So I continued my search for something a little different and not so common, and you'll be pleased to know I decided on a 2.0 FSI BWA engine from a 2008 GTI. Having kept an eye on several FSI engines on eBay, I soon learned there value and what you expect to get thrown in as well. This engine though, was a bargain, the sale consisted of;
Engine
Gearbox
Running Gear
Clocks
ECU
Keys
Loom
Turbo
All for £900, and the engine has only done 10k!!!
I expect to take delivery this Saturday, so I'll post pictures up this weekend.
Mean while here are some pictures of the removal of the G60 engine.
