My Golf 1.4GTI

[Erik Dub]

Turbo is an aftermarket, havent actually got it on rolling road yet, but with my custom manifold, and exhaust too (curtesy of tiptopperformance.co.uk ) hoping to catch a gti or twoo hahaha.. BUT not sure why some people making it sound sucha mission, maybe it is if you don't like playing with your car or arnt very hands on in the engine bay, but increasing my little 1.4s bhp for a small cost and abit of time & effort seems well worth it to me, all picking up useful knowledge.. what could be better?? :S

Really like the response though! Spoiler I never really thought about much.. but deffo a needed mod! 

cheers lads

I can't see how this was a "small" cost. You appear to be in a lucky situation where this tip top company of yours have done the work for you. For the average joe to get all that work done to a 1.4 it would have cost a fair whack.

also surely it would have needed head work to alter the compression ratios and bits and bobs

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.

you can buy them like that. it's the m sport pack spec'd when new.

With M5 badges on the tailgate and the blade things on the wings?

That has to be genuine m5 wings, the factory sport pack does not have them.

Sounds like a cool project, bet it was a bit of a mission. What did you do with the ECU? Also what have you used for an intercooler?

Get some pic's up, sound's very impressive, if not as the others have said a little mad!

This is either a hoax or a shameless plug for this company, as what fool would do this to their car.

also you will drastically put up your so called cheap 1.4 insurance doing these mods, but then I bet you haven't told your insurance company?
if you have fair play, but then you would need modified car insurance.  if you haven't told them and you have an accident, your insurance will be instantly invalid and you will be personally liable.

food for thought.

Yes.  Smells like shyte.

[Hurdy]

Give the guy a chance at least.

Pics of the engine bay would resolve if BS or not
