    If you aren't up to doing a 2.7 then don't do the VR6 swap. Look on 4T for the 034 VR6T build for info.

    VR6 will cost more than an 2,7TT / 1,8T, in terms of conversion.

    It's not a direct, bolt-in and drive-away option.

    Both conversions are VERY tough. If you can't figure out why it's burning oil, I wouldn't recommend you DIY on a swap.
