massive injectors, massive turbo, good management ported head shortened runner.. lightend fly n crank..

where do you stop

I want to start small then go from there , were is the best place to look for performance parts ect.

what do u class as performance parts?

Get a good exhaust on it, the whole system, and a sports cat, and a manifold.

and a good air filter, maybe the enclosed bmc air filter.

then go from there. lol.

the deeper you're pockets the more HP you can squeeze out really, depends on your budget.

The basic is induction, combustion and exhaust.

So a good induction kit like the BMC system or another closed cone element would be perfect, if not, then a good panel filter (K&N, pipercross, green filters) alongside a drilled and de-restricted air box and a cold air intake would work well.

For combustion, you want some lairy cams, decent spark plugs, and stuff like porting and polishing.

For exhaust, you want a 4 branch manifold combined with a s/s system.

Throw in a decent remap and you should see something close to 200 horses.

thats whyam asking on here, so people can ponit me in the right direction i dont want a  loud car and looking like a bag of sh!t like all the little chav's. i want mine smart and slick and stanard looking apart from my eand breaks ect. was going to get another 16v engine and convert it to a turbo but thought i wuld get a few more ideas first

[Mikester]

a good exhaust dont have to be loud mate.

But a 4 2 1 manifold and sports cat would derestrict it a lot.

And then you could get a s/s exhaust with a silencer in it

but with turbo or supercharger is were you need big pockets. If you have the money, go for it!
Look at bahn brenner motorsport (http://www.bahnbrenner.com/) they do turbo kits (http://www.bahnbrenner.com/vw_audi/categories/251/VW_Turbo_Kits).

Where can i get hold of one for a MK3 16v? None of the usual suspects seem to make them (Ashley, Piper etc)
