Thumbs up Serious Question For all you Lambo Guys... From a VW Guy

Well as we all may or may not know... I am buying a VW Rabbit in August. The 2.5L inline 5 is said to be half of your Gallardo V10 having the Same engine specs except horsepower of course. I was hoping that a Head from one side of a Gallardo would Fit on my little Rabbit and make some power. Does any of you guys know if it would fit? or have any info or advice for me? Thanks a lot!

yes, with some werk it will fit.

all you have to do is modify your car a little to get it to go. all those bits of your rabbit that aren't a gallardo, you'll have to swap them out for gallardo bits.

good luck with your project!

My advice: Are you serious?

Just do intake, chip, pulleys, exhaust, suspension, brakes. Call my shop, www.4induktion.com and my guys can tell you a lot of easier things that you can do to your car.

Scary stuff. I asked a friend mechanic (a Rabbit -they're called 'Golf' overhere-specialist), he said it can be done quite easily, but the life span of your entire car will be reduced to less then 40 %.
