Where's that GTi6 Turbo build?
Looks immense. Helped massively by being able to weld / make his own exhaust manifold. That's the hard part. Plenty of room otherwise! (provided you re-locate the battery...)
With regards to greater displacement on a standard lump with lairy cams, that would be pretty fun for trackdays but I can't imagine it would be great every day. You're going to have to be 'on it' giving it all the beans to get any level of performance from it IMO. A turbocharger can offer that much, much lower down and will undoubtedly be much faster in the process.
Someone needs to whack a decomp. plate, XSi head (larger ports) and a MINI Cooper S supercharger (Eaton M45?) on a 1.8 XU.
Surprisingly awesome results from the same idea on a 1.8 Mazda MX5.
