So I'll have to have a think about how much power I need. I think about
110-130kw should be enough.
The turbo kit on ebay is mad, and I'm thinking of slapping it on the plastic.
The missus will go sick.
I hope one day to come on a cruise soon with the Melbourne boys. I just have find some time off work.
Frankie, when I visit the restaurant again you have to show me your beast.

Ah have a ride in a chipped GTI - 145kw will be perfect for you.

Turbo kit looks dodgy - Especially on the ECU tuning side of things. Engine won't handle much boost, you definently wouldnt get 130kw out of it.

there is allot more than just slapping the turbo on.. you are running a stock head, with a turbo.. don’t think you can run allot more than 7psi, with a stock computer, not to mention reliability, turbo’s, with stock internals, most of time = Trouble!

I strongly agree with the rest, get a GTi... its much better than a 2.Slow.

If anything read some of the guys from vortex that put turbo kits in there 2.0s they have alot of hard time and sometimes struggle, but they reckon well worth it. I know of one guy from Australia that will venture into turboing his 2.0 his hoping for 250bhp POWARR

What about engine mods?
Cam, port & polish, that sort of stuff.
The thing is, I've always liked naturally aspirated cars, otherwise I would have bought a factory turboed car. Then again when I ride in a turbo I love the instant boost.
All I want to do is increase the accelaration and improve the torque from the lower rev range.

I can put my hand up & say im one of those 2L guys...that have done some little things that help me move along. But for alot of the above purposes I am not going for a turbo. I can tick off the following Cams, port work, Giac Chip, cold airflow & mid section of the exhaust cut out. With all that done I can say its been worth it so far! Its a matter of looking stock but not. Cam work really does make a difference well with all the extras. Goodluck! PM if you would like to know more.

Hey Harry,
Was around at Bug Racers workshop the other day.... Im going back in fo more work.... Coilovers KW V2's plus the cat is being changed to a larger fastflow type... & the exhaust pipe in that section usually tapers down to a smaller size & then expands again its going to be the same the whole way through...
thought I would keep you posted on the progress.
I have no issues to date
Oh Fuel Cut out at over 6.5k rpm.... just thought big speed though....
Cheers
