.:R32 turbo australia?

With a boosted .:R you will loose some of that awesome sound though. NA tuning for the win in my opinion.

As per Graeme's comments above. The real problem once you get the setup to fit is getting a suitable tune for Australian delivered cars.

Yeah, that would be my main concern defiantly.

C2 Motorsport in the U.S. do a pretty tastey kit. And a far cheaper option to HPA in terms of 'bang for buck'. 500HP kit is about $10k US.. The guys there are very on the ball and are extremely helpful... Already emailed them .. Though owning a boosted R is very far off in a distant land.

On another note, there is a guy on VWGolf.net.au - Australian Volkswagen Golf Forums that is soon to be running a R36 twin turbs motor in his Mk5 R32 ... HPA kit.

My god, that thing would spit out some bull**** bhp, behind a ~1.4tonne car is just, phenomenal!

It just seems just about impossible to hit big power without forced induction to me. I do agree that NA tuning is the best though. But it just seems once you've crossed off the usual upgrades for the R32 you're at the end. In saying that, i'm no geek when it comes to this, so i could be horribly, horribly wrong.

Doesn't sound as good as an NA .:R though! The whole gargling rocks noise is gone. Even stock with no flapper sounds better than that in my opinion.

Suga's R32 isn't supercharged, jsut has a Kresseig exhaust
Jig And Jason both have ABT Sportsline Mk5 R32s (they are UG in colour)
AP has his white turbo R32. The TTR36 motor is going into his Scirocco.

Turbo R's are just horn

C2 appears to be the best choice at the moment if you want to turbo, or a rotrex kit for superchargers.
Good thing about the rotrex is you keep the awesome exhaust note, and dont get a big heat build up on the firewall.

I'll be looking at this route eventually on my 2.8, but to be honest I'd want to go full standalone since there isnt any one over here that remaps the std ECU's.
And this worries me with interfacing with tall the std electronics like the dash, haldex etc.
Maybe have to look at piggybacking the std ecu, with the standalone doing fuel and ignition only.

[graeme86]

I put this idea to you.....by the time you stuff around buying/adding a standalone/piggyback system and trying to get everything to run properly...it would be cheaper to pay a C2 (or whomever) tech to fly over here and tune it, especially if you had two or three guys doing it at the same time..

[Lonewolf1983]

I wouldnt expect so..
ECU 1-2k
wiring 1k
tuning 1k
= $4-5k

flights from london return are $3k by themselves
+ accomodation + renting a dyno + tuning

Probably be a lot cheaper if getting multiple people done at the same time, but considering there are only a couple in the whole country...
