Newbie getting a 1.8T instead of 2.0GTI :)
« on: 03 April 2011, 16:57 »
Hi all am going to be swapping my 2.0 GTI for a 1.8T as my father has a mk 3 vr6 so need and want something quicker :D

Does anyone know which model is the best one as ive done a bit of research and come across quite a few.

Ive seen a 150bhp,180bhp, Anniversary model? Also will they all have a GTI or GTi badge on them?

Cheers guys

would be looking to trade in mine for about 2,500 then prob another 1k-1.5k so under 4k.

Would it be better to get a v5 170bhp rather than the 1.8T 150bhp? Which is better to tune?

Welcome. 1.8T is far easier to tune.

defo 1.8t

ive seen some great tune ups of that engine at awesome in manchester.

i have bora 4 motion at the moment, and a tunned 1.8t would see it off (although not off a standing start cause of the awd!) the one thing to watch is get it tunned well. dont max the remap or go for a cheap remap as your turbo is likly to give up after a while!

find a quality low miles, fsh example of the 1.8t and save 800 quid back for some quality mods, revo remap, diverters and throttle body re alighned full inductiion etc.  :grin:

i had a remmapped 2.7 bi turbo s4, my fav car so far but was always worried about the turbo's going, would have cost me over 3k to fix  :cry:

4 motion golf could be a quick option with full system and full induction? but more fun would be had with a tunned 1.8t i recon?

welcome dude, im loving this forum already!

cheers guys for the replies :)

been looking around and it seems the 150bhp is far easier to find as i want to get it from a garage no private :)

so come end of may ill be trading in what you lot call the 2.slow GTI :D and getting a new 1.8T for under 4k. Seen a few all with roughly between 67-80k miles so seems good to me :D
