About 8 more valves?

For the work involved and the minimal gains you'll get have you not considered a 1.6 as a half-way house?

the 1.6? Which engine is that? and how much do you pick them up for and what work is involved mate.

thankss

"With respect" mate, this forum isn't shocking.. but the word "Cupra" in the url might give you a clue that although there are some regular 1.4 and 1.6 owners on here, the expertise will need to be all yours if you intend to do an engine swap..

Have you done a search? If you have, you'll have read this

and the thread that it links to.

Best of luck.

Lupo GTi or Polo GTi, club Lupo or Polo sites should be a source of info.
