omg the acceleration in that seat is out of this world. that cant be right surely? that thing went off like a fcuking firework!!

Well the golf on the second video had 367hp, so that acceleration is more than achievable  :smiley:

That has had serious work to get that power that is if it really is.  :rolleyes:

Sorry but 4pot turbo's sound sooooo weak....although seemed to accelarate quite well.

Rather have a vr/r32 turbo any day of the week, especially if i was spending all that money, time and effort on the car.

Hes only just put a 16v in it, he dont need to be taking it out again.

Although i am with you on the opinion.

should have just done the decent thing in first place and fitted a modified 20vt lump instead of the waste of time abf conversion.

ir even a Turboed or charged VR lump

VR's are generally charged as opposed to Turbo'd but thats only from what i've seen!
We have like 3 down near me  :cool: Although one is in a Mk2 ;)
I would be inclined to turbo it just for that insane boost  :evil:


But then again lads, why do you want top end speed when in Sunny ol' England we can never reach it?
I completly agree with the sound of a Turbo's R32 lump being the nuts, but for track use and even 1/4miles a 16vT Would probably perform better with the right tuning due to the weight! And then you have petrol consumption  :laugh:
I'm still dreaming of my R32 Turbo though, in the tug boat  :smug:

yeh, by the sound of it the supercharger alot easier to do aswel, specially seeing as the kits are designed to give you everything you need to get it done! i think that with the mappin, lightened balanced flywheel, manifold back exhaust wud jus be what ive always wanted, people can argue jus go and by a evo/scooby, but why when i can hav MY golf! It hits me whenever im next to say a astra vxr, it grips me that these people think ther cool as f**k, and wana race about, nd i kno i cud give em a go, but even bein a better driver its still out powers nd out accerlerates, thts when i jus think, supercharged, laters mate u jus speant 16000 nd ive made u look a douche infront of yor missus lol! Sad mayb bt we all think it sometimes!! Main thing i jus love my golf, want to stay dub, wana stay mk3 but want the power nd sumit different!
