If you plan to buy a car that has already been swapped or pay someone to do the swap, be prepared to spend more than it is worth.
Ive heard no such thing as the wiring harness being like that from a VR and not a 2.0.
the mk3 harnesses have nothing to do with any of the 1.8t sensors. seriously
And ive had my 020 in my 1.8t for 4+ years still doing good (knock on wood)
clutch drops, drag strips, burnouts you name it lol.
Oh and comparing a 200 hp turbo 2.0 is cheating lol thats alot of work into a turbo 2.0 t oget 200 whp, you can get that froma 1.8t with like chip/intake/exhuast.
but 2.0's are strong.
