Hi all,
Just got a 1.8 20v (non-turbo), am I able to get a turbo fitted to this? If so, what and where do I get the parts from?
Cheers

NO

That's put that to bed then!LOL.
Suppose I'll have to get it remapped then.

Re-mapping the 1.8 none turbo will get you nothing exciting at all mate.

You could do how much money do you have tho :grin:
Time for the famous mk4 words:
Sell it and get a 1.8T :evil:
-
gosh dont be so negative..
you need a turbo and feed lines, intercooler and piping with map sensor, pistons, conrods, manifold, downpipe, entire engine loom, ecu (preferably with matching clocks/keys)
all of which will cost about twice as much as it would to sell yours and buy a 1.8T.. but its your choice :wink:

Too slow Mr Toph :laugh:

Sell and buy a 1.8t, simples.

Cheers for the suggestions.
The turbo can wait I think. :lipsrsealed:
With all that in mind, how can I improve performance? (Apart from selling the car and getting one witha turbo?)

Air filter and exhaust will give a small gain.

Better ring your insurance too and declare a turbo an a modification, the person will then ask how much BHP it increases the car over stock.
as the others have said save for a car that has a turbo on at the start.
In terms of mods there is not much you can do other than uprated air filter or cai, stainless exhaust, and suspension for handling gains

At the risk of also sounding negative dont bother. Save your money for the 1.8T.
-
Why don't you drop a 1.8T lump in?
Can be cheap nowadays.

yep it took him and Bob approx 1 day to swap the engine in and out but the clocks and ECU needed recoding which was easier said than done sadly :sad:
