I'm not sure.......

I don't think people deem it necessary as the Golf Turbo is so tunable anyway?!

Arent you ment to do a majour engine upgrade before nos eg. cams, forged pistons, uprated pulleys etc otherwise its vroom, vroom boom? Just what iv read. Iv also heard that after a while nos makes an engine pretty flat.

 the 1,8 turbo lump is good enough upto 400bhp ...so i would of thought it shouldnt need to upgrade the internal parts ... i was jus thinkin about 50bhp the smallest type of NOS ...........

why not just get a remap.

Cheeper and probably more beneficial.

Just do some research into which type of NOS kit is best for the Golf.  Dry or wet??

With the GTi-6's, wet kits are the way forward. :wink:

I think your best off speaking to some tuners.

Which turbo engine have you got?

Have you also sorted your suspension( inc. rear ARB)/brakes out?  Having a sorted susp. setup can be like having an extra 50 bhp (improves your point-to-point pace).  Do you do track days?  You could also get some instruction from some qualified curcuit instructers who will teach you how to extract the maximum out of what you've already got!!  :wink:
