MK1 Rivage Cabriolet - Which engine conversion? 2.0 16v, G60 or 1.8T?

Carbs are such a backward step though !! :-)

Oh yeah, I wouldn't fit them, but still have their fans.

Yeah, I don't want carbs.

After a lot of research I'm favouring the G60.

It's decent power out of the box, well; circa 200bhp after a chip pulley and port (which is most used G60's nowadays). It's a period engine which is effectively the same as the MK1 GTi lump with some fancy bits and a supercharger bolted on. It sounds awesome, it's tunable and if I get a whole Corrado to break it won't hurt the bank balance after it all. Ok, the charger is fragile but as this is a second car barley covering 1,000 miles a year I can live with it.
