Hey,
just out of curiosity and if you don't mind, how much did the Frankenturbo F4T turbo end up setting you back after installation etc?

well it all adds up, turbo kit was $1250, fueling another $800ish, install around $850 plus lots of miscellaneous stuff like fpr, maf,. and can't forget tuning which is around $900

Ok so realistically, I should be having 5k ready for all those little extras that add up quickly,
I'm only day dreaming at this stage until I install dump pipe, FMIC, CAI etc...
but one day! haha
thanks

There's a hefty discount on the tuning when going from Phase 1 to Phase 2 and 3.

Plus you could hunt down another ECU maybe and then get some $ back on the one you have..... Just saying

Yeah I'm the one with the green MK4. When I first saw pictures on carsales I didn't like the colour, but once I saw the car in the metal I decided it looked alright (the photos were really washed out and bad). Now it's really grown on me and I love it! It's a rare colour, the only GTI I've seen in this colour so far in QLD.

Got her a little over a month ago with barely 100k on the clock and a full service history, and I absolutely love the car. I've ordered KW V3's, and I've lined up some custom 3-piece forged rims from America with a friend who will help me import them later on down the track. Can't wait..she's gonna look hot!

For now though it'll just be the coilovers cos the ride is too soft and then I'll be dumping money into maintenance - timing belt, bushings, etc.

It's gonna hurt the wallet ...haha!
