I know it's not a standard model, but given the amount of Golf DNA in the chassis it must be possible?

would have to be the 2.8 24v V6 from the 4Motion, but should be fairly easily done!

i always liked the idea of an R32 lump with twin turbos.... given the budget of course...

If you mean the old VR6 lump then I don't see any point, just get a vRS. If you mean the newer 2.8 from the 4motion v6 then I think it's been done but requires custom mounts? I could be talking rubbish though!

The 2.8 mounts will fit straight onto the Octavia, same chassis. You would just need a 2wd six speed box unless it was an Octavia 4x4.

Twin turbos are nt really possible on a right hand drive car due to the steering and brake system getting in the way.

that's it then Lummox has spoken

I agree, with the power that's coming out of the 1.8t the atmo VR6 is looking a bit of an irrelevance, but the VR6 can be supercharged.

Anyway, I was just wondering whether or not anyone'd heard of one, rather than thinking about building one myself.

speaking of "heard", wait till you hear a supercharged VR6 on full song

I know someone who fitted a V64M engine and gearbox to a Golf 1.4, all they had to do with the gearbox was block off the transfer box.

MK I Octy 4x4 VR6 supercharged anyone
