Dang. Haven’t seen any Jetta IS38 swaps. Probably because I’m only in Golf groups. That will be awesome. I assume that’s a pretty common swap on the GLI’s?
Yeah the issue is I have the gen3 non mqb engine so I have to fabricate some parts to get it to work in the stock location

But it’s still a 2.0L? I always just assumed all the I4’s were essentially the same with different turbos.
Yes it’s still the 2.0 Before this it was just that it was quite simple to just swap out a turbo with ease like it is on the GTI and the GLI gens before this one but the turbo on this gen3 non mqb is quite literally mounted backwards so it makes swapping turbos a bit more of a task than normal

I never knew that. The last real GLI knowledge I had is back when my buddy had a MKIV GLI that came with the Recaro seats and BBS wheels. I still like that generation but not sure I’d buy one considering that was peak VW problem years.
