      I had a b8me and it did burn outs everywhere. But i blew it up and now i picked up a bp. But honestly the b8me was more than enough power. I had a basic Canadian tire air filter and a 2.5" straight pipe with no cat and it pulled hard. It was the best engine swap i have ever done as far as power gains and ease of install.

          He's got a point though. The B8 swap rocks!

            If you want room for options, go with a B6.
            No bracket modifications.
            Lots of space to add P/S, A/C, cruise.

              What is a basic Canadian tire air filter?

                  OP, what are you planning to use the car for? That is the determining factor.
                  90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods
                  09 Kia Rondo--a Festy on steroids!
