I'm not talking shit or anything but..........Just switch to a turbo chassis; the 1.8 is a TOTAL WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. Here in Hawaii, one guy tried to fit/rewire his 1.8 to 2.0T and gave up due to monitary reasons...it would have cost him $1500 in fabrication work alone without engine/trans/harness/ecu and other crap. He then proceded to turbo his 1.8 with 2.0T parts. He got it all together and belw one block working out fuel issues, once the fuel issues were fixed he blew 2 more blocks,a set of pistons, and +/-5 headgaskets due to too much boost(only 8psi). He has since bought a 1GAWD and said he was a dumbass for ever trying to mod his 1.8. He still has the 1.8 for daily driving........with just enough boost to operate the BOV.
If you can wait a few weeks; I'll find you a cheap turbo car that needs work and you/we can fix it while you drive your 1.8daily. It will be good for you to turn some whenches and learn about turbo cars before you drive one. There is twice the maint. and up-keep on turbo DSMs that all other cars.
Here is a pic. of his POS1.8T.
