GTI 125bhp non-turbo
« on: 22 January 2009, 20:39 »
can anyone tell me if its possible to fit a turbo on the standard 125bhp Mk4 GTI?-mines a 99 1.8 petrol engine-and is my engine the same as the 150bhp 1.8t? ,but obviously without the turbo fitted!) and if it is possible are there a better aftermarket turbo,s that can be fitted to it other than the standard vw item??-and any suggestions on any companies that could do it would be much appreciated
cheers

It's possible,but not worth the expense mate.They are completely different engines and would require a hell of a lot of work to turbo it.It'd be cheaper to sell up and buy a 1.8t.

Yeah the 125bhp model isn't that slow.

Off topic but I saw a guy in his late 70's driving an R32 GTS-t last night... He wasn't flooring it, I purposly didn't overtake him because I knew he would just boot it past me but he was doing 55-60 in a 70 so when I overtook him I noticed it was an old guy! Big Jap exhaust on too  :smug:
