Been seriously considering a transplant into my 1.9TDi Vento recently. Only have her a fortnight, but already I want more power. I came from a 1.4 8V mk3 golf and Im loving the extra BHP in the vento TDi, but Im just itching for more recently. 1.8T 20V seems to be a very popular engine swap with mk1/mk2 golf owners, but Im guessing putting one into a 96 Vento would be much easier?? Ive read that a 20V T from a mk4 golf will cost in excess of 3000, would this be correct? I know that the 20V T has endless tuning possibilities and I would really like to find out more. Any help/guidance appreciated! Edited by: SQ_Golf_mk3

Why not tune/chip your TDI? I know TSR and Allard had a mark 3 Golf TDI with 150bhp plus. A re-chip or plug in box would give you 110/115bhp and you would still be doing 50mpg with no problems.
