Golf MK1 gti '77...With Audi 2.2 20v turbo.

Hello there,

In the coming 4-6 weeks I will be starting my first engine swap,KR 16v out and 2.2 20v turbo in.

I have been searching for a while now for a conversion guide on the 'net but to no avail.

I know the engine can go vertical using the stronger Audi box or standard horizontal with a donor box but then on front wheel drive….thats about it  

Any advice/tips or links would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers all,

You mean the 5 cylinder engine ?

wouldn't it be easier and cheaper with just as much power to fit a 1.8 20v t ?

or if it really is a '77 GTI put a 1600 GTI motor back in it. Prob be worth more than a turbo MK1  :dontknow:

Can't see it being likely anyone has done a guide.  tbh the only one I remember was JPs on Ed38, and that was fully custom rwd etc.

Hello people,

Yes looking at doing the 5 cylinder 20v turbo "B'' or "AAN".

The idea did occur to me to strip it down and rebuild to standard everything i.e 1.6gti. However its more of a last resort.

As for the 1.8turbo conversion it seems every body has or is doing it. so it is still a possibility.

Does anyone know if the 2.0tfsi with six speed box has been transplanted yet?

Decisions decisions decisions…… 8O

Cheers,
