not got a gti yet but will be getting a mk4 turbo and would like to learn as muc as i can before i get it.

am i right in thinking that a chirping sound on the turbo is no a good thing? (to0 much back pressure)?
how easy are boost guages,oil,water etc to fit or not to fit if that is the case and i will leave it at that for now haha

Gauges are piss easy to fit aslong as you locate the parts you want to 'sense'  usually you get instructions anyway mate but unless your confident get a proper person to do it ;)

Stocks arent too bad but they can be made quick. I had an s3 a few year back with an 1.8t in....similar engine....and had that too 300bhp and that was nippy to say the least lol

Your best bet is too look for build threads on here for other members experiences with parts etc to get an idea of whats best to buy.

They are dog slow standard, a remap transforms them.
