you "could" make it run on one engine, you wont hurt the transmission necessarily. depending on how its built. but you would need to put a split in the electronics and the shifter.. vws use cable shifters, you just double up the cables on the attachment points and can shift both engines at once.. plus the electronics, clutch etc are joined for the driver..

ive seen the durocco run on just the rear engine for donuts, i forget what he did to make it work. my friends actually drove that car at a scirocco.org gtg.. they both insist it is insane.


for those of you still thinking about costs, your on the wrong side of it (unless your trying to afford it)..

here is a friends stance build.. he did a lot just to run 17s at a height he wanted..
