iv got a 2.0 mk4 golf gti non turbo and im wanting to start work on it

my friend has a focus st3 and is constantly reminding me that his car would make mines look silly i was gonna change to another car but decided i just like golf's to much!

please give me ideas on what kind of turbo i should have or what i would need? i dont know alot about cars but if i was given the right idea id have a garage take care of the rest

sell it and buy a 1.8t!!! best idea

The focus is a much better car - dont waste any money on the 2.0 8v

i would start with a good 1.8t base and go from there. the possibilities are endless as long as your wallet is too

You have the better car (vw blinkers on) but the wrong engine if you want to go out and play with you mates ST3.
There a re thisnf you can go with the 2L but you are going to be spend ££££££ to do it so it not worth it mate. A 1.8T in the Mk4 with a ko3s and remap would see you haveing the bhp to keep up or posably beet you mates ST3.

even with that i doubt hed match an st3, they are stunning cars and quick to boot, a boosted r32 might be a better plan of action if he wants to beat it.

st3 might not look much on bhp but that 2.5 engine is an absolute beast!

If its a standerd ST3 car makes 221 bhp on paper, but as we all know a little fettle with a Map can make that a diffarant car.
