New to VW's

[big_tedman]

Hey all,
Just brought my first non-Japanese car, a 99.5 VW Golf GTI 1.8T
very happy with VW's so far =)

Previous cars were fairly modified Subaru Legacy Turbo's and Twin Turbo's

Looks like plenty of info on this site and looking foward to browsing around.

Welcome mate, awesome engines the 1.8T's... I've got one myself

yeh I like it, little different to the higher power 2l boxer motors ive had, but I am amazed at how well it accelerates stock, few little mods planned for the future but

Indeed. It's a tough little engine, and the internals can easily handle a ****load more power when you do decide to go down the tuning route, I've just begun the journey myself
