They will be pressed in .

I still dont understand why everyone goes to so much effort to get 20-30kw more than a regular ko4 ?
Water-meth , carbon fibre bits , some lighter wheels etc will give you the same rate of acceleration ..
If your going to do a big turbo I would start at gt2871r as a minimum . A nicely built 2.0l bottom end with a set of cams and a good intake . Anyway , my 1.8t is finished , just need to finish off some coolant pipework and intake before it will roar to life .
LSD and sticky tyres is a must if you want traction , as are some stiffer mounts and decent suspension .

Which bit ? Engine rebuild ? Turbo kit ? Water meth ?
Then there is the question of what hardware is already on the car !

How old is the gearbox ?
If the car makes decent power I prefer changing the syncros to mk4 GTI types as they are more durable for more power .

2006 95000kms. I will probably change the clutch to a stage two ECS unit at the same time. Are you based in Sydney?

Was thinking of using a different gearbox as i know i will want more power one day, was thinking of a o2m 6 speed or something.

Guess it is a good option to use the MK4 syncros, is it expensive ?

Id do a full rebuild , pending on how good your gears , ring and pinion etc are .
Ive had my shop pretty much since I left VW Racing in 2004 in Sydney , out in Parramatta

Id draw the line from an 02J to 02M once you go over 400hp

Assume it's got nothing done to it. You could list it all:

Engine rebuild
turbo kit
FMIC
Exhaust and DP
water meth kit
gearbox internals/LSD

Is he looking at $10K or more?
