I used the Passat box flipped with a ultimate engineering adaptor plate with modified diesel mounts.Then made a new engine mount on to the turbo side to allow front wheel drive turbos to be fitted running a ko3s turbo on a apu engine (150bhp) and now remapped with stainless exhaust is running 229 bhp when dyno tested .

WHS^^^
You can mount them at 50°, but you need an early or passat donor as it will take a T3 sump, it lifts the engine lid a little. You also need custom mounts and cradle, there are some available off the shelf, but all seem to be for 15° Sump wise for a later car, you can get away with a standard one, but many go for a steel bottomed after market as they don't cracked when you hit them on a speed bump.

The samba is the place to look really chap, they love them. Most of them seem to be at 15 degrees as per the car but I remember reading one that was bolted up to a diesel bellhousing then the bellhousing was clocked to bring it back up to 15. I suspect the oil sump is the sticking point but I can't remember.

Hi peeps
just picked up a pretty unmolested 1988 Velle with a seized 1.9 motor and 5 speed box. She has been holed up in a lock up for a number of years and i managed to strike a deal on Saturday and trailerd it home. Now i fancy giving it an engine upgrade and since i have been blasting around in an Audi A3 1.8 turbo 20v i was wondering who has gone with this route? I was also planning some internal engine mods so i can turn the boost up and make it a bit of an animal as you do. Whats needed to attach it to the 5 speed box and will diesel mounts work? I have my T3 buzz back on and your advise will be greatly appricated |
