Yes, not sure why its so confusing though..

It sounds like a labour of love mission going on - Not the sort of thing I would have attempted but good effort none-the-less 

It does beg the question tho - why did you not buy a GTI in the first case as it seems like the efforts you are putting in musta cost a lot!

[AlanD]

Iv just never seen it done before is all lol

Waht turbo did you stick on? What sort of power has it got now then?

It sounds like you must have spent at least enough cash to buy a GTi, even the insurance argument must fail if you declare all the extras you have (esp Turbo conversion) Car looks good, but i would personally just have saved for a GTi (and did in fact).

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!!

What turbo have you put on your 1.4 lump and what BHP are you now looking at?
