   its a heavy iron engine, basic spec is same power as a mildly tuned vts
   There are better PSA engines to use instead. The concept is a good idea. Its a stronger engine and gearbox, just its let done by its weight

   Isnt there a problem with the gearbox? As its too big? Also the turning circle is shocking on the gti-6 so in a saxo it would be laughable

   would be a lot of cutting and welding involved for it to fit but with money its possible

    i fitted one to my 205. Was ok on the roads though i had to cut righthanders at T junctions, but I never took it to a multistory carpark in fear of getting stuck

    asked every fucking day.
    
    As a side point, the metal inlet on the GTI-6 lump is fucking great

    no matt black, plastic windows, one aluminium seat with a bit of sponge for a cushion and a little set of clocks and a few gauges, and some really wide steelies!

    it was orange when he 1st put it in, then he painted it
    
    
    the gti6 engine has been done but as said its very heavy, if you want to do it use the 206 gti 180 engine as its alloy
    pug performance have fitted one in a 306 and tuned it to over 200bhp and is a hell of a lot lighter than a gti6 lump

    think its the same lad who was a fcs 2 yrs ago in the orange clio, he was there last year with a black clio lol
    
    was fast
    
    im sure the gti-6 engine sits lower than the vtr engine and has to be mounted on a slight angle??
    
    would fit if you butchered the car, but would nack the handling and steering i think.
    
    any thing is possible mate if you have the time.
    
    i would love to fit a 1.8 20v turbo VAG motor to the track car, but i think it would be a total ball ache.
