I have a 92 Tsi AWD and I want to move onto a more modern feeling car. I did an Evo dashboard swap but The loss of functionality is annoying (no proper ventilation, have to reach into the dash to adjust temperature from hot to "cool" (NO AC), fuel gauge reads a bit off etc....). I also dislike the paint, I have a cracked windshield, and the interior is not the best. I'm ready for a change. I just recently got my car tuned at Boostin Performance for 462 hp so I am at a crossroads as to what to do with the car. My options are to sell the car as is, get another 1g shell and swap, or to get a 2g shell and swap. The first two can be easily done, I know, but I am also entertaining the third idea and need more information before I follow through. Searching around the site I haven't seen any threads of people who have done it but maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
My main concerns are the most obvious. Compatibility? I know ill need the 2g drive train, but will my 1gb trans fit using the 2gb mounts? Are there other clearance issues I need to worry about? Do I need to modify my transmission? What sort of wiring hurtles are there? Or am I just over thinking this and it's a piece of cake?
I'm sure there is more preliminary information I should be including, if you need me to clarify anything let me know. If I decide the swap is worthwhile I'll post a walk through.
