Internal strength wise, the T4's and the phase 1 2.0T are the same.
Phase 2 2.0T rods are weaker.
T4's run compression ratio of 8.5:1, 2.0T's are 9:1
P1 T4's are 1855cc, P2 T4 is 1948cc (All 2.0T are 1948cc)
It depends on how far you want to modify the T4. I wasn't planning on having as much torque as I got, resulting in a bent rod.
I'll post up the new spec, with pictures of the build once the car is moving under its own steam.
