My last headgasket job occured about a year ago, on the side of the freeway (I should have known better than to run 20 pounds on piss gas, but I was feeling lucky). Took about 90 minutes. It's so easy to change, that I keep a spare HG in the trunk. The 1.8 rocks.

only 90 min. to change a headgasket on the 1.8 AND while on the side of the road... :rolleyes:

I would pay cash money to see that one for myself...

thats comparing my 16g with a garret t3/t4 see they arent really better yea the compressor housing is bigger but the inlet is smaller then the 16g and the fins arent as good
 
i duno if there is a list on here but if anyone could or wouldn't mind could someone post a list of exactly what parts you need to turbo the 1.8 sorry if its already been posted
 
ok thanks, and does anyone know actually how many people have done it? and how suscessful its been?

have you ever changed a head gasket on a 1.8?
if you have all the tools ready, its a pretty quick job. no where near as complicated as a 2.0 liter
