Title: Tuning or engine conversion?
Post by: Jungle_Don on 23 October 2008, 14:15

What are people doing to tune there standard 16v's? i dont plan spending more than £600 if im going to spend more than £800 id rarther pay a bit more and look at other engine conversions.

basicaly i would prefer to get a nice power boost with £800 but know nothing of tuning mk2 golfs.


as for engine conversions how much would it cost to fit a 1.8 turbo from the newer golfs?

Alot for 1.8T conversions, but then it depends how much you can do yourself. Probably looking at £3k upwards

Four £800 you could get a VR6 in there  :cool:

Maybe an ABF (depending on how cheaply you can source the parts)

the 1.8T's as said you're looking in excess of £3k just for the engine.
