Starting by saying I'm not sure what's legal in your area.
But to answer your question simply would be a VR6 motor or R32 as they can be made to fit albeit with custom control.
As they say there's no replacement for displacement.
Add forced induction to that motor and you'll know the result.

Don't worry about cash

20V turbo is also a good choice if that's the case

[walshydub]

If you are set on a turbo motor then as above any 1.8T from a MK4, Audi A3/4 or TT. But if money is no object what about a 2.0FSI from a MK5 GTI.

thanx guys

and HP Numbers of the said engines ?

Don't worry about legal or not, it is all legal here.

Stock 20V Turbo 180-225 bhp
Stock VR6 190Bhp
Stock R32 230-240bhp
Stock 2.0 TSI 197bhp

All of them are highly tuneable, so pick a number. There is a VR6 Turbo in Germany with 650bhp....

Nice BMW.

RWD on a Golf is possible but a big job. Not sure that it's worth it when a strong 20v turbo can run rings around worked WRX's.

[ausgolfer]

Not sure why everyone keeps going on about the 20v. He's said money isn't an issue and power is.

R32/VR6 turbo..... no replacement for displacement.

PS. Most stock 20v turbos are 150hp the 185-225 are in the audis and rarer but not unattainable.

At the end of the day a 20v turbo will never match a much bigger motor once its also turbo'ed.

[sports racer]

The 6 cylinders also weigh a lot more. Not what you want when you prefer rear wheel drive.

Keep it light and keep it nimble.

[ausgolfer]

If he'd asked for a light and moderately powerful car then 20v would be the choice.
Not trying to be a smart a55, but he's asking for outright power.
Lots of Vr6 turbo'd mk2s kicking around the rest of the world, mustn't be 'that' heavy.

hahaha RWD golf... dont even bother mate sell it and buy a RWD car. As for a vr6 or r32 motor, if you like to understeer into a hedge be my guest...
