May need to check on compatibilty of gear ratios with existing rear diff but that's not too dificult to check.
Should make a nice car, the 1.8T is a very tunebale engine and very light.
I ADORE the 5-pots but the 1.8T would make a very good sensible choice for a rapid 80! SHorter, lighter and more powerful.... Keep us updated!

I wouldn't want to give up '
my' 5 pot heaven, but I still would love to see a type-85 Coupe quattro with a 1.8T and 300bhp.
I'd love to see how it goes, & handles.
