Flip this discussion making me want 20vt. Lol
I have pp management already in and boost pipes laying in garage from previous build.
Would be a simple swop in. Would just need bits and pieces.
I'm planning on pulling ABF apart and upgrading internals but maybe 20vt would be cheaper at the end.
My worry is that the 20vt a little to potent for the Citi.
If I do this it will be proper. Any idea on how to beef up chassis on a citi for this sort of power?
Good luck on build.

Poly bushes, Strenghten the steering rack like the challenge guys do and a decent suspension setup.

Re: 1.8T 20v swap
Sorry for the high jack, but these things might help you also and think about doing also to your polo.
I'm busy doing a poly kit already and looking at suspension options like koni sport shocks and a rear ARB.
What mod do the challenge guys do to the steering racks?
