engine..

[Dejongh]

i have a 2.0 gti with no turbo just now but im thinking about making it a bit more powerfull
should i stick a turbo in the engine i have already or look for another engine that already has a turbo


also my car keeps giving me problems it is acting up in the cold weather and when im stationary for a few seconds i can feel the car shaking and the revs slightly falling even when the engine is heated up

I think you can't just stick the turbo to non-turbo engine, you need to change couple of other items as well. Better to get new engine with turbo, it might work out cheaper

any ideas on what engine would be best?

I'm no expert my friend but it depends what you after, I would say AGU 1.8T petrol or 130PD diesel

Are you feeling right Devilz?

A diesel? If you want a car that sounds like a skeleton wanking into a biscuit tin...

yeah mates i'm alright, its not about me, its about him, i suggested petrol/diesel engines, he is the one who needs to make choice

better off selling your non turbo and buying a turbo tbh mate. your engine problem sounds like MAF meter or coked up throttle body, or possibly temp sender.

Gutted, but your right.

Still, addicted to torque and mpg.
