Title: Golf GTI VII IS20/38 Turbo
Post by: adammo1111 on 23 August 2022, 12:20
Hi guys,

I'm thinking of getting a hybrid turbo for a Golf GTI mk VII and was looking at this one

https://muchboost.com/product/mqb-is-20-hybrid-turbo-upgrade-audi-a4-b8-a5-q5-seat-exeo-vw-golf-vii-gti/

But they also have an IS38 available, could it be possible to fit the IS38 on the golf? And if yes then what other upgrades besides fuel injectros, a DP, and an upgraded IC i should get done?

Thanks a lot!

To start with, what's your plan for the car? A little fun on the roads?

Those seem pretty expensive to be fair, are you wanting a little more than stock is20 power? Or perhaps IS38 levels of power?
If what you have is a GTI, then an IS38 is a direct bolt on.

Have a look through the Littco page at options, had great reliability and power from the L380x and seen good things from the L500 too (albeit a little more lag on spool but capable of a lot more power)

What is this, some sort of guerilla marketing?

Split personality perhaps?
