Hello there ,

Some noob help please for my beloved Leon.
I own a MY2000 1.6 8v petrol Seat Leon Mk1. I have an ambition on tuning the Leon in an "unfashionable" way as I m an "atmospheric breather" fan. I want to avoid turbos.
In some research I have found that an ABA (VW code for the 2.0 litre 150bhp VW GTI MKIII) engine would fit prerfectly in my engine housing. Has anyone tested this , even in theory? Am I talking rubbish? Please excuse my ignorance. My enthusiasm is bigger than my tech knowledge .
In your debt for any info about this "project car".
