i spoke to a guy last year who did a G60 swap into his mk3, apparently a very straight forward conversion (digi fuel systems are useful for something!)

assuming you can find a complete G60 setup, it will certainly be cheaper and more reliable than trying to boost your existing engine.

Not worried about speed and stuff!

So why do ya wanna boost the power? If ya just want a quick short burst of acceleration why not go for nitrous oxide?
