Hey guys I was wondering if the 1.8t can be stroked into a 2L by changing or swapping the crank shaft with a Golf GTI V for example?

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

The blokes in the states normally go to a ABA (basically our 2E with a counter flow cyl. head) complete 2L block as it's a cheaper option, rather than all the machining cost's involved stroking & boring a 1.8L.
But in my opinion, I wouldn't bother.
There's blokes that have made stupid power out of just 1.8 litres & reliable power too.
One bloke comes to mind who made 600+ wheel hp recently & it's a daily driver.
400whp over there is a pretty common occurance in the states.
