here lately my digi2 8v has been running very very ****ty and i think its about time i go ahead and retire the motor since its about to turn over 200K. I do have many options on the table like OBD1 VR6, and G60. I could of course go with a 16v, 2L 8v, or a 1.8T but a OBD1 VR6 and a G60 are the easiest ones to do. i figured yeh i love the Vr6 so ill research that route. i researched and its not a bad idea but usually you run into alot of problems like most swaps and u haft to get a good suspension that way you dont kill yourself. then not to long ago it dawned on me, why not just do a G60 swap since my harness can be modded to become a digi 1. but i dont like S/Cs, and i know the G60 isnt the best S/C made, so i thought id research into going G60 turbo since its ready for boost. i have been looking at parts to assemble this motor and still looking for certain things and lining things up to make it go smoothly. so far i have found a G60 long block for 300 with no electrics, i think im going to use a 1.8T intercooler or one from an audi. Ill mount the intercooler where the battery is and relocate the battery in the hatch ill mount the intercooler at an angle kinda like its leaning against the shock tower that way i dont haft to hack my bumper up and itll cut back on all that piping. I plan to use a T3 turbo form a volvo or a CT26 turbo from a MK4 Toyota Supra. Ill prolly use G60 front axles, brakes, calipers, etc in front and ill just use the entire rear disk brake assembly and hook it all up to a G0 master cylinder with stainless lines. This is going into my 1992 VW Golf GL 4 Door, if you have any questions, comments, suggestions or Tips that would help me i would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!!
