And is this just a shameless plug for

Im too young for a GTI, my insurance is through the rooooooof already,  working at TIPTOP had to be done though, costs were pretty low due to my job, and the experience and knowledge of the team here helped alot!! lol.

all round sick first car   love the mk5 bra bra!!

Fair enough, i can see why you would want to turbo it, i had a 1.4 when mine was in a recent service and it was so slow my girlfriend actually asked if it would help if she got out and pushed at one point, made me appreciate the GTi a lot when i got it back though

Surely the costs of declaring that its been turned into a rep/ suspension/ wheels turbo etc will rack the insurance up way more than a standard GTi anyway?

And is there not a stock 1.4 turbo / supercharger thing already?

All that said I admire the work you've put into it.

Im thinking it has not been. Modded cost much more than standard! When you also include the costs....

Have you got a better photo of your rear bumper? So that I can see the detail in the styling? It looks nice.

Ditto, personally I can't stands cars that are trying to be something there not, was like today there was some chap in a 5 series with a m5 body kit and all the badges and the rest of the branding looked genuine until I got a quick look at the size of the brakes and the only thing that came into my mind was numpty. Granted it looks a bloody good attempt but it's something I'd never dream of doing

this is the aged old debate and i totally disagree, its a project that wont be replicated, a 1.4 turbo'd engine of a vw golf! fair play to the lad i say and i reckon he would give you boys a run for your money around town in it

I'm sure it wont (be replicated) and I don't want to sound negative towards the chap in anyway, his money, his life and all that other jazz, but VW already do a turbo'd 1.4 with the addition of a charger in the TSI engines. Never the less I've said my piece I'll leave it at that

I like the wheels

I agree that the GOLF badge needs removing and you definitely need a rear spoiler to beef up the back end.

The exhaust system and the rear valance look great too.

What kind of power are you getting with the turbo conversion?
