There was a GTI in the scrap yard near me last time I was there, ill have a look next time I'm down and see what sort of condition it's in, as whether its a 138 or a 180 
Might even have a look at getting it for myself haha.

Changing from a TU to an EW or XU isn't just a straightforward swap.

Im guessing you wont tell the insurance, so the only valid swap you could do is a 1.6 TU and the insurance wouldnt be able to tell the difference.
What year is your car?

Even then it would have to be the 8V lump and the engine number mysteriously changed.

Or ground away, or just like PSA and you generally cant find the f****r. Im struggling to match bloody engine bearings and the engine completely apart 
8V can be quick, if you throw enough money at them

lmao, sure you haven't bought one thats had it done before?
Aye, but that's the case with anything is how much money you throw at it. Then if you want reliability it's more money again.

2.0L (1998 cc 16-valve DOHC) 122 kW (166 PS; 164 hp) XU10J4RS 4-cylinder petrol (used in Xsara VTS)
You don't need a big engine to make power - the Daihatsu Charade GTti has a 900cc engine but produces 99bhp from its turbo. Would love to have a go in that!
