Looks interesting! It looks like a one off kit, thats been used. Would need to upgrade fueling (new ecu/chip?) would need to run low boost unless you did some serious internal work, since most mk2 have quite high mileage. would you need to lower compression? The guys at Jabba sport might be able to set it up and recommend fueling and spot other potential problems.

wouldnt of thought you could run much boost without at least using a spacer plate to lower compression a bit. would also need some form of uprated management as earlier said,, think you could run it with a G60 ecu iirc.

no point fitting a turbo and not uprating the internals.

low boost is pants
