2 liter tall block, or a 16V 2 liter. they both bolt up. also recommend upgrading the fuel injection on that bad boy.

if my brother in-law was here instead of calgary he would set you straight. he has an 89 gti 16valve, or maybe the 24 valve - which every one is more rare. that thing is fast, mean, and damm right slap you in the face clean. it's almost all origanal and he hasn't modded the engine either. fun little rides but my 89 isuzu i-mark would slap him back with 189 ponies running a muck all over you.

good luck with your project

you're a rubbish mechanic to begin with it seems. VW TDIs just need special knowledge that's hard to come by in a gasoline mechanic.
