Anyone know anything about a Golf wagon with turbo R36 motor in it?

Someone mentioned this to me this morning and didn't know if they were pulling my leg or not. Apparently there's a Golf wagon with a turbo'd R36 motor at CP performance in Artarmon. I know that a Turbo R32 and a Scirocco R have spent some time there and lately there's been a white Golf R there too so obviously they have some experience with modified VWs. Anyone have more information on whether I'm being told fibs or not?

I've seen pics of it. My dealer sent me photo's last week. White wagon with R36 engine and black motorsport rims.

i always thought a gti engine conversion would be a great project for one of those wagons, but a turbo'd r36 motor, well, thats just pure shenanigans

Must be this one. It was parked outside CP a few weeks ago.

I wonder whether it's still FWD, or whether they've done a RWD or AWD conversion?

You'd have to make sure the dog is tied on well in the boot before you head off.

I wonder what rims those are? Looks similar to the VW Motorsport alloys..

Hope its not that car in the pic, still has the standard brakes!

As amusing as it might be, you have to ask why? The wagon is fugly from the back half and its a fair bit of coin for the job.
