Why doesn't any one run a newer turbo VW motor like a 1.8T or a 2.0T?
Was thinking bout buyin one o passat's bell housings but he thought maybe the motor would sit half cocked or some thing? Just wondering why I haven't heard of any one using newer VW power?

Run a vw 1800 turbo 150 HP and who cares the angle. Just keep an extra quart of oil in it.

Perhaps they are not being used for the same reason the 1600DP was originally used, cost and availability?
