Title: Who wants to turbo their 8V GTI??
Post by: GOLF-MK3-GTI on 15 August 2013, 18:35
There's an Audi 80 cabriolet for sale on eBay, it's a 2.0 8V and it's had a turbo conversion done to it.
The turbo kit can be used on an 8V GTI, the engine layout is the same, but it's turned in the Audi. That's all.

Item number: 281151107236

Buy the Audi, take the turbo kit off, scrap the Audi. Win win situation.  :laugh:

The abf aint all that. The power is sluggy only thing that will sort that out will be a light flywheel. Unfortunally hotgolf has stopped lightening them :cry:
I drove ma cazanz abf and it didnt feel all that :undecided:

150 BHP ABF which is naturally aspirated vs an 8V GTI which has turbo?

We all know which would be faster.

But like murraymint has said, it's something different.  :wink:

Different yes but still pointless, think about how much that conversion was new against a 16v version

Also I doubt that it would fit a golf without a lot of work.

Well worth doing just for the fun of it, sticking a light fly wheel and a cold air feed on an ABF is just as pointless as any 8v mod.....

Not at all. The difference in response is very noticeable with a lightened and balanced flywheel.  Best mod I have done so far.

Put it this way, it's a hell of a lot quicker on acceleration then it was without. Unless you dont have pulse you wont notice it. Like I said and many who have HAD it done it is not a pointless mod. A lot cheaper then turboing an 8v  :rolleyes:

And yes as my man says it revs realy quickly compares to standard flywheel.

Does my Mk3 still get raped by my brothers van, every time

Ju571n was clearly wasting his time on his 8v as well :huh:

Point was "its not worth putting a turbo on an 8v" I'm saying there is more point if any cos you will get 160 bhp lots of torque and more oompf than a light fly.
I bet you could buy that Audi strip it out and get most of you money back selling it on and turbo an 8v having a blast doing it.
You aint going to make a Mk3 fast with much less than 180bhp and a decent hike in torque, every thing else just makes it feel faster.

The lightened flywheel only costs £150 all in with fitting.  Compare that with cost and hassle of the turbo.

Seeing as you asked so nicely :wink:
I'm a bit 50/50 on it atm I had the box rebuilt last autumn after a diff explosion.
Its good in the sense that I am faster off the mark and feels like 20 bhp with the fly but the 8v runs out of puff at just under 6k.
Its great up to the point the 8v hits the limit when the car starts to feel like its kangerooing, you can only polish a turd so much :grin:
The daily commute is driving around in second and therefore very annoying.

I would expect an extra 8 valves would be a slightly better scenario as the extra low down pick up would be a benefit and would not lose out too much in the top end trade off.
I do like the extra pep i get in the country lanes, with 8 more valves this could be more fun

Heads been off but was only polished with a mop when i fitted new valves, it is matched to the manifolds though and flowed right through to the maf housing.
