    I like a challenge and doin something different is always good to see but honest opinion from me would be sell golf invest in Gti and spend a little on that. the head ache involved in modifying avu motor would be massive from harness to ecu to piping man that's a huge job!!! If you go ahead post pics, cheers.

    I work at clark rubber so piping and hoses are no trouble at all.. The only thing is trying to find a piggy back ecu to tune the car.. And there isnt alot of room in the engine bay either lol..

    Ok thanks

    Now... I need some advice.. Should I use a t3 turbo or a K07??

    Also looking for an intercooler.. Should I use one off a gti or buy a new one? Any thoughts or input would be great
