Mk3 Turbo
« on: 23 December 2011, 22:36 »
A friend of mine suggested buying a turbo off a mk3 TDI and fitting it to my mk3 1.4 for more power. I basically laughed in his face but now I've been thinking about it, would this actually be possible?

Stupid idea?

Waste of time effort and money to be honest mate better off swapping the lump for a vr6 or a 20v turbo 225 bhp out of a cupra or a tt or a cheaper 150bhp out of a mk4
