My engine lid info is based upon pics of the Syncro 1.8T swap.


I don't know the Syncro, but it may be that the stock position of the
Syncro drivetrain allows for a shorter engine lid modification. Still.
Eyeballing the 1.8T, it looks shorter than my ABA. (no pesky cross
flow intake)


And my apologies for hijacking this thread! Back to your regular
