well IMO if you have the rabbit you have a great start
for a fast can with a TDI motor in it!

3700 lbs for a MK3 tdi jetta 3800 for a mk4 golf.

with that motor in you rabbit it would kill, slaughter and
maim. that is if it held together.

Remember that new beetle in the smiles per gallon article in GRM awhile back? A couple bolton mods. Injector nozzles, boost control, and fuckall else. 130hp was the result.... and 416 ftlbs torque. I'd hit it.
