      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?
              Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.

                  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!
