.:R32 turbo australia?

[drewr]

This is really just a question of curiousity, as it's just in a distant dream for me at the moment since all the kits seem to cost pretty much the sum of the car itself again. So, for my drooling sake , are there any known Turbo .:Rs in Australia? Or better yet, any owners on this forum?

Jay in townsville has a turbo R. He did alot of the work himself, but it didn't cost him anything near what one of those kits would!

I'm sure if you asked him nicely he'd be able to hook you up!

The cost is generally prohibitive.

The most well known ones on vortex are the HPA kitted .:R's though.
I believe it's around 10k for the kit.

I know that there is a member on here who's partner drives the "suga" supercharged mk5 R32.

Oh true. Does he have an account on here?

The HPA is about $14k USD, which would work out to be about $18-20k by the time its shipped and put through customs, etc. It's really such a bummer that .:R32 turbo kits cost so much. =[ Yeah, i'm lead to beleive there's also a supercharged mk4 kicking around, too. But I don't think supercharging would be the way i'd want to go if i did.

20K is a hell of alot for sure. i'm sure if you hunted around, you could build a kit yourself, for a fair bit less than that.

There is also a silver R32 in Brisbane that has a HPA single turbo kit on it.

Dragan from Inmotive had it originally on his blue R32 in Sydney.

I believe it was around $20k to get it all up and running properly.

Unfortunately the "Bigdog" Twin Turbo doesn't fit on RHD at all...now THAT would be something.

JBS in UK now have a single turbo kit...there was one in last issue of Volkswagen Driver magazine fitted to a Mk V

False most R32 turbo kits are custom or pieced together. There are not many people that want to spend the money on an HPA kit. But there are a few that have. There are many other kits out there C2,streetwerk,VF,Kinetics,Cts,Nls.
