The head gasket is gone, i toyed with the idea of replacing it and doing some other small jobs on it but thought if I could get away with dropping in a new bigger engine I would.
I want a remap anyway and like the idea of a turbo but wasnt sure if the 1.6 would handel it without major works on the engine. I know id have change a few parts for turbo anyway but not majorly familiar with audi engines to get in to deep with it.
The vtec was a slim hope but i have a 2.0 vtec from a type r civic so thought on the off chance.
