dont listen to him, he's just a bitter old mk4 owner and has realised he made a mistake gettin rid.

The 1.8T is a good platform and good power can be made from good money

The best start is to buy a mk4 1.8T fitted with a K03s turbo, so this normally means buying a AUM engine code model.

From a good Milltek system, larger downpipe and sports cat, panel filter, 007p re-circ valve, Forge TIP and remap you can expect power around the 220bhp mark on a good engine. This will set you back around £1000 which for an 70-80bhp gain is fairly good.

AGU *

Mental 300bhp + power is where money gets 1.5K plus just in parts(on a bargain streak). You could be upto 4,5,6k with labour ect..

K03s is the straight upgrade, Im selling my full K03s setup if in anyway you need soon. Going K04 route which is as fitted on Audi TT 225's, little bit trickier but no so bad, BHP more 265-280 area i guess.

Yeh in all seriousness, the 1.8T is a good car, despite how much it may cost you  :wink:
