turboing my gti...

Fair enough, if you're doing it on the cheap and aren't planning on changing the rods then the 1.8 bottom end would be the better idea.. although if you were going through all that hassle, not forging the engine would just be stupid

Depends on the budget tbh. In a ideal world, a 1.8 bottom with forged rods and pistons would be win but obviously thats expensive.
Personally id prefer to have the benefit of a square engine over a under square with a slightly bigger displacement. (something i will be starting soon!)

Im genuinely interested to see how you get on with this dum dum!
