170 TSI in mk3

[jules]

HERES A THOUGHT DOES ANY BODY KNOW IF THIS LUMP WOULD FIT IN THE POLO 3,CRAZY IDEA BUT IT CERTAINLY WOULD BE OUT OF THE NORM

[hayesey]

the engine is a development of the 1.4 bottom end from a polo 16v so technically speaking it hsouldn't be too much work to get that in situ.  There are a hell of a lot of ancillary bits to fit in though, I think it'd be a struggle to fit both the turbo and the charger in there.  The electrics would be a nightmare too.
