All GTI 180's are multiplexed so if your car is also multiplexed it will be a lot easier to get the lump running.
Get the VIN number of the car the engine & ecu comes from so you can then get hold of the security code
If you can also grab the BSI unit & the transponder chip.

also easily achievable and easily affordable is two different things....cams fitted.. about £1500 -£2000.....ITB- £2500 - £3000... fully forgeing an engine god knows but even if we say £2000 for arguments sake thats £7000 plus the price of the car... is it really worth it? especially when for that money think of the car you could have...

sell...your....car...buy...gti 180. Then sell all the bits you don't need from the 180 if you plan on making this a rally car. You can pick a 180 up rather inexpensively.

there is a lot of difference but it is all do-able. I started converting my XSI to a GTI but buying a flat took over and it's on hold/maybe breaking. You need a new subframe, anti-roll bar, coolant reservoir and pipes, gear linkages. And that's just of the top of my head. PM if you want any advice, also if your looking for some parts I may have them.

Just save the money, get an Audi S3 225/Seat Leon 225 or something similar.
Kingdom forgot to factor in one thing, Insurance and this being your 1st car????
Its a dream many have had, but ultimately, pointless/worthless/stupid/expensive.

Has the recent Jersey rally raised your enthusiasm.... I can shave some money off those prices BTW. You will need to swat up on what your doing though, The ECU wont take a re-map so you will need a piggy back ECU to run the ITB`s

Maybe the only person in the world ever 
But Dillion, nearly everyone has just got another car instead of spending loads making a 206 faster.
Tbh i do think it would be amazing to have a 206 that whipped a ferrari, but would it ever happen from a member on here?????
