welcome to the club, nice find for £200

Hello and welcome. What engine are you thinking of?

Couple of options at the minute as I have an ALH 1.9tdi motor and a AEB 1.8t 20V motor sitting. The 1.8t might be the easier one to use with less mounting mods required, however I'm a bit of a diesel engine tuning fan so who knows.....

I was thinking of dropping a diesel in mine, but as I only really plan on using it in the summer for shows and the like in kinda swinging towards a g60, vr6 or a 2l 20v.

Yes I'm in the same position as the jetta will be used for shows.....anyway I've already got a few tasty diesels which are quick enough for daily running....plus I fancy a bit of petrol tuning again.....
