thats why a 2.2 lump would be perfect and it shouldn't be a week lump coz its made as a 2.2 and not a 1.8t bored out to a 2.2
except it wont fit.
When the TT came out, Dialynx wanted to do some special with one, and initially were goin to fit one of the 2.2 Turbo 5 cylinder engines from the quattro, but it was too bulky. In the end they put a 2.7 biturbo v6 from the S4 into it, as it was more compact.
if the 2.2 inline 5 wont fit in a TT engine bay, how exactly do you think it'll fit in an
ibiza engine bay?
and then there's the
problem of mating it to your gearbox.
am not really sure what you're trying to acheive....1.8T bored to 2.2 is going to be torquier, and less willing to rev...imagine only reason to move to 2.2T is to componsate for lag from bigger turbo...except going to 1.9 is enough for most people....and you really do not want more torque, poor 02j gearbox will crunch and wimper!
