You can't just wack a KO4 turbo on and off you go. There are several internal bits like the manifold (cant remeber the rest, have a search in the MK4 section using the search button) that you need to change and its a resonably expensive mod.

What sort of budget have you got to do all these upgrades?

A KO4 with extra bits your looking at 250+ easy.

Hello,

you will need custom down pipe, 4 bar fuel deliverym pump, fpr, injectors, 3"maf and your looking at 250-275bhp 280-300lbft.  The engine as a whole is good for 300bhp+, they start to bend rods close on to 350bhp+
