Golf R32 are they really that bad????

[haf1zur]

bad things? from whom? only from 1.8t owners i presume

Thing with the R32 vs the 20vT is the simple fact the R32 will always muller the 1.8T, the only way your going to get a 1.8T faster round the track is to spend fortunes!

isn't a remapped 20v about the same power as a standard R32?  R32 must weigh a lot more as well.

i seriously doubt just a remap would bring a 1.8t even close to 240/250bhp

KO4 or similar is required

No, A remaped 1.8T will sit around 190 - 210 depending on turbo type and general health of the engine.

To get up to the 250+ mark your going to need to start looking at a KO4 turbo upgrade and thats when your wallet really starts to get light.

As for "bad" things about a MK4 R32 . . . what have you heard? I've not heard a bad thing about them other than fuel consumption and what the hell do you expect from a 3.2 V6 . . ?

I'll admit to no 20v experience, but the 225bhp lump remapped must be up there power wise...can't be that expensive/difficult to swap the 225 bits over can it?
