Your best bet would be to swap the Engine/Tranny/Driveshafts at once. The 2.0L Tranny would also be stronger than the 1.8L. You will also need a 2.0L ECU, Wiring Harness, probably Fuel Pump. Try to put your hands on a wreck car and take whatever parts you need. You could go one more step and convert from a 1.8L to 2.0L Turbo!!! You can find some info at the 1000 VFAQ http://members.home.com/costall/1000Q/index.htm Hope this helps. Ghislain. Rouge!!!

It might bolt up different, but the tranny itself seems to be the same... ------------------ Trevor 90 Laser RS 1.8L "Shauna" "I almost beat the bicyclist!!" 90 Talon 2.0L NT "Leaks more oil than a rusted Russian oil tanker" Lost to a CRX.

I'm currently saving up for a wrecked TSI, I hope to pay about 1500, but I don't know if that's unreasonable,

Ont think to know... if you use a TSI FWD tranny you need the FWD turbo flywheel because if you use a NT flywheel with the TSI FWD tranny, the starter will not engage... the intake pipe from the 1.8l dows not fit the 2.0l throttle body... I fixed this problem with a RActive metal intake pipe... all the rest is bolt on See Ya Boris Levasseur
