Looks good, them pistons and conrods look tiny! Then again I work with 8.3 litre 6 pot diesel engines!

Make sure you get some good quality piston rings, with more power blowby will be more of an issue.

Yep working at vw means cheap!!!

Hi mate, those conrods look like a set I've bought. What dimensions are they? I think I may need to sell mine on, if they fit the 1.8T, bonus!

If your going to do it, might as well do it right. Interesting to hear what the plans are regards power?
