I would say prob around £50 - £60 depending on how you were to drive it but your prob better off as stated getting a turbo and tweeking the naggers off it  :grin: esp if you got the money to buy a R32 you will have no prob gettign the turbo past 200 bhp

They're not that bad on fuel. Pretty good infact compared to other engines of similar capacity, like the straight six you get in beemers. As someone said in another thread recently, if you have the choice between the two.. and you get the GTI, you'll be pleased as punch with it.. they're awesome cars, but you'll still stop and stare when an R32 rumbles past.
