Just wondering if it would be worth the hassle to swap in a VW 1.8t GTI engine. I was offered one for $400, runs great. Would it even fit without extending the front clip? Also, has anyone swapped an echo engine yet? What did you/they drop in? __________________ 1989 Supra Turbo, 5spd targa top 2002 4 dr. Echo 1999 VW Golf 1992 Celica gt-s My Supra
