Well the golf on the second video had 367hp, so that acceleration is more than achievable :smiley:

Have you any idea of the costs and work involved

Thats ok then, to do it to a good enough standard that it will not go pop the 1st time your looking at around £4k +

I'm going to apologise now for this rant, but it's always a typical answer!
Who gives a flying pig sh!t how much it costs, it's still a hell of a lot cheaper then buying a Mk5 GTi!!
Rant over!
It's an awesome machine and the sound on the second one...OMG!! But yeah it does cost a fair few bob! lol :grin:
-
normally a fan of s/g sounds but.... oooh that was nice!!

Who said "like a Hedge seeking missile"? :lipsrsealed:

That has had serious work to get that power that is if it really is. :rolleyes:

Sorry but 4pot turbo's sound sooooo weak....although seemed to accelarate quite well.
Rather have a vr/r32 turbo any day of the week, especially if i was spending all that money, time and effort on the car.

Hes only just put a 16v in it, he dont need to be taking it out again.
Although i am with you on the opinion.

should have just done the decent thing in first place and fitted a modified 20vt lump instead of the waste of time abf conversion.
ir even a Turboed or charged VR lump
-
I personally would of fitted a 1.8GL lump, but thats just me.

+1 would have made more sense.

yeah do it, cos the 16v transplant has been trouble free . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :lipsrsealed: :grin:

I been toying with the idea now since jus looking at mr vr beofre i brought it, what to go with thou, supercharge kit from america, or turbo it!?!? so confused, i kno a supercharged one with a haywood and scott exhaust, it was out of this world in sound and speed :D £3500 for the supercharge kit i found produced in america :)
-
VR's are generally charged as opposed to Turbo'd but thats only from what i've seen!
We have like 3 down near me :cool: Although one is in a Mk2 ;)
I would be inclined to turbo it just for that insane boost :evil:
But then again lads, why do you want top end speed when in Sunny ol' England we can never reach it?
I completly agree with the sound of a Turbo's R32 lump being the nuts, but for track use and even 1/4miles a 16vT Would probably perform better with the right tuning due to the weight! And then you have petrol consumption :laugh:
I'm still dreaming of my R32 Turbo though, in the tug boat :smug:
-
yeh, by the sound of it the supercharger alot easier to do aswel, specially seeing as the kits are designed to give you everything you need to get it done! i think that with the mappin, lightened balanced flywheel, manifold back exhaust wud jus be what ive always wanted, people can argue jus go and by a evo/scooby, but why when i can hav MY golf! It hits me whenever im next to say a astra vxr, it grips me that these people think ther cool as f**k, and wana race about, nd i kno i cud give em a go, but even bein a better driver its still out powers nd out accerlerates, thts when i jus think, supercharged, laters mate u jus speant 16000 nd ive made u look a douche infront of yor missus lol! Sad mayb bt we all think it sometimes!! Main thing i jus love my golf, want to stay dub, wana stay mk3 but want the power nd sumit different!
-
allthough after watching those vids and remembering my days in turbos i really do love the sound and feel off that boost.....once again in 2 minds :cry:
