Hello I found a nice 2007 Gulf GTI with a bad engine (owner ran the oil dry).
I'm new to VW's and have been doing some research.. With this vehicle having the FSI 2.0t what would be acceptable engine replacement it appears that another fsi 2.0t from year(s) 2006 - 2008.5 would be the obvious choice. How much of a process would it be to use an engine from another donor vehicle newer TSI or a FSI from an Audi...?
Is the Audi FSI set up the same as the GTI FSI? I wouldn't mind moving parts between long blocks but I'd like to stay away from any type of computer flashing / reprogramming, which I would assume would come with FSI to TSI if in fact it can be done.
So in short what would be my options as far as keeping labor time and aggravation to a minimum!
Thanks in advance!
