Title: Mk4 Turbo GTi 20v
Post by: Rob GTi on 23 December 2003, 11:52

Has anyone had a problem with a misfiring turbo. Mine went yesterday, hopefully still under warranty. Should it go at 17k.  Any other owners had this problem, and did it cause any other problems to car. Mine is at VW dealer to check problem. :(

 Hi, my car is the same 1.8 gti 20 valve turbo, 2001.
  My english is very poor, but if you understand spanish, very well.

  Yo estoy empezando a modificar mi auto y si tu tienes informacion sobre ello podriamos compartirla, mi idea es partir con un overboost greedy que me acaba de llegar desde USA, posteriormente escape, cambiar el turbo, inyectores y el control de inyeccion, seguramente via el apexi AFC u otro similar, si te interesa avisame.
