It's a one off. So much hard work to put in, completly as you would have expected to see a 3.6 in a mk4 golf roll out the factory.

Anyone read his build thread on r32oc? Practically designed the whole loom and everything.. madness!

Very  :cool: indeed

Yer got to admit i wouldn't have bothered myself but there was talk of him putting a twin turbo kit on it  :shocked: in the future.

Would be well chuffed to achieve something like that though, sadly i'm too lazy for that kind of thing..  :huh:

What sort of power do you expect afterwards?

What sort of power do you expect afterwards?

To start with Stage1 around 6psi should be 420-450hp and similar torque.....when i get bored add an intercooler....spacer plate and more boost ;) should do 600hp no probs....

cant wait to get home from work and have a lok and listen to the video clip.

All i will say is well done mate, mk4 chassis/shell is sexy and then just adding a monster power plant is awesome.

The turbo mounted to a v6 will sound the muts nuts.

keep up the good work, wish i had the money and time to do something like this. will just have to stick with my 1.8T

Credit where credit is due, you have built a very  :cool: car there. To be fair I posted the comments before I had seen the video.
With regard to your point "F", I wouldn't know where to begin!! I will watch future upgrades with interest!
