Couldnt sleep last night and had a bit of a mad idea..

Polo with a golf gt tdi engine remapped to around 180bhp.. the torque would be rappid and MPG must be around the 60 mark. plus still cheap tax and insurance

Was wondering if any1 has done this?, or does any1 know if the golf gt tdi engine would fit without major problems/cutting etc.. will the engine and box fit in the small polo engine bay???

I imagine if this could be done, would be a lot of fun to drive and very economical ;)

I know a Polish lad that has done it! It's pushing about 205bhp.. From what he told me and I saw under the hood there was a lot of chopping and remounting going on! But it can be done!!

I would love a polo with an engine like this, as have a mk5 jetta 2.0 tdi engine and the power from that into a polo would be insane, will maybe try look into this myself :P
