Which gti turbo?
« on: 18 November 2010, 16:51 »
Hi all my name is Ben I have decided to join this forum after looking around for a good few months!

Anyway, as it says above I am not sure which gti turbo to get i.e. what year or model?

I know that the newer aum does come with the k03s but the older ones are much cheaper to buy and I may even replace the turbo anyway?

A little advice on this would be great I know it is a broad question but which would you buy if the funding is not the issue?  (no funding yet for me :cry:)
Not got my next golf yet waiting for the right one!
