Hey guys,

I have a VW MK1 Caddy (same front as Golf 1) and I have three engines, an 1.8T AGU DBC me3.8, an AWV DBW ME7, and RS4 2.7TT engine. What do you think about these three options I bring to mind:

- AWV with AGU Head and ME7 Management + RS4 K04-025 Turbo (idk how hard it will be to make it fit).
- AGU Block + Head with ME7 Management and DBW throttle etc. (can this conversion be done?) + K04 or bigger Turbo.
- 2.7TT RS4 Engine Ultimate Swap mounted transversely with a 5 spd gearbox.

1. What are the pros and cons of these two different engine swaps?
2. Can the 2.7TT be mounted transversely and fitted with a 1.8T Gearbox, or do I need to find a way to get the Quattro installed altogether?
3. Which one costs less to make 400+hp?

What are your guys' ideas?

P.s. Here is a link to my inspiration for this project, the JapCrap 1JZ MK1 Caddy: http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/04/united-nations-of-car-culture-1jz-vw-caddy/

How much does a stroker kit cost? I would rather focus on getting a better than K04 turbo before I move on to 2.0T displacement. Like at least a GT2860Rs.

Btw, are the K04-025 turbos on RS4s better than the S3 K04-022 Turbos?

No point in using a stroker kit for an engine swap car. Just put in a bigger engine, much cheaper. If you already have the rs4 engine I would use it, it is more special. Also a lot more work fitment wise, but who cares! You can also make it a longitudinal setup with rear wheel drive. Cut and weld the car around the engine 

Hmm... nice ideas guys. I'm wondering what RWD would do to a MK1 Caddy, which would be about max 1150kg, and 65% of the weight at the front...

I will probably go for a nice fun to drive 1.8T for the weekends. And the Mk1 at max. 1100kg so it would go really quick even with medium horsepower.
