I'm kinda an old skool Dubber. not air cooled but old skool. I don't think you can make a 12 into a 24. Why you would want to do that I don't know. But you could always port out the valves. That would make it a little better but it's possible to screw up the compression. Don't quote me on the 12 to 24 thing though I'm old skool so I'm not familiar. Does anyone have a used wing for an A2 jetta. I need one. Thanks!:bandit:

You cant. The engine simply isnt designed for it... youd need a new engine... you see, the DOHC has one over head valve set for intake, and one for exhaust... the SOHC simply has one set for both...
