1.9 205 engines are wank in comparison to what you can have these days - imagine an XUD, that's petrol, with barely more power than a stage 1 XUD - That's a 1.9GTI engine... A TU5J4 is an awesome conversion really...
Only issue is weight - they're actually bloody heavy engines - they're cast block integral liner unlike the 8v TUs which are wet liner, the STOCK MA boxes are wank beyond belief - the engine itself is AWESOME though... JP4 head, J4 cams on a J4 bottom end... Best combo going, use a single plug 106GTi engine loom, but will still need a good bit of modifying...
