Default Going Rotated ??

Hi, i'm in the middle of deciding whether to go 2.1 or stay 2.0 cdb. After reading a few threads on here, alot of people on here seem to have gone for a rotated setup.

My question is, could some possibly explain to me what is involved in going rotated?

Thanks

Mike

Im on a 2.1 cdb with a standard fitment MD321X and it produced 503bhp 470lbs/ft

You dont need the expense for 450bhp mate, a MD321T will get you that with standard fitment

its a classic uk wagon, shell is in good condition. No rust and all straight.
Just the engine is getting a little tired at about 104k. I know i'll need a six speed etc, but i have also being looking into how much work work be required to run AVCS heads?

Thats not bad, i am liking the idea of the the 2.1 as i read they are slighly more revvy and a lot better to drive on track. I don't know whether this is true as i haven't driven one.

I also went for the 2.1 over a 2.0.

Im glad i did,the power comes in nice and early and the 2.1 will produce more torque.

For the little bit extra it costs its worth it.
