new project idea??

[Wayne]

300bhp in a mk1 is pointless.

A well sorted 2.0 16v is a better choice.

[lemski]

I'd rather have my 1.8 lump

[Peej1981]

I like the idea of the 1.8 turbo engine and this would be my first chose but i do agree that 300bhp is going to be crazy power in such a small car even with lsd. Just think you are going to be using this car as an everyday runner which is good but is it practical? I suppose if you have a adjustable boost controller it would be tooo bad, only need to turn it up when you really need the power 

[lemski]

Kai your a genious but I will speak to scott tomorow and see what his knowledge comes up with

[Peej1981]

Yes I am,  just think that if you do something like adding an adjustable boost controller then at least it will make it a practical everyday running car with a little bit more for those fun days.
How easy is it to drop a 20v 1.8t in a mk1? Heard that these engines can be quiet laggy running that sort of bhp, maybe be worth looking to have a stand alone ecu to prevent this, also would work better with adjustable controller too.

Mmm think I'm getting excited 

[lemski]

I went to c scott today and explain k-jet or 1.8 20 valve and he said 20valve and I was looking at a polo c which he's got. He rekons it'll be easy to drop in. I have faith in his wisdom.

[Peej1981]

mmm a polo c, im not sure about that only because i prefer my mk1's to them. I am sure scott is rite and if anyone has the knowledge to do it it will be him. You need to decide now what you would prefer to roll around in, polo or mk1, i know what i would choose mk1 all day long. How much has he got the polo for, is it that white one?

[lemski]

Mkw and polo are 895 so idk would rather have the mk1 and as scott can get me a cheap 20v lump am swayin towards that idea. He's a bad influence. He even said when I can't get ne more power out of the 20v he can get a nos kit for cheap :/ he's abit power mad. Lol

[Peej1981]

Told you he is a little mad like that, he doesnt really like things to stay standard, its turbo this and supercharge that  You are in good hands with this conversion So when is all this going to start happening?

[lemski]

Don't know mate going to start saving after crimbo. Then collect what I need with the help from scott
