Big Turbo Matters
« on: 19 December 2010, 19:15 »
Been weighing up a Forged engine build for a while, Kept an AGU lump back off a breaker for exactly that, I've just bought Comptons lump off the forum being as it was Very cheap, silly not to.

Question is, 350bhp in FWD mk4 with no LSD, Its been running 5 speed box, at very least i'd run a PD 130/150 diesel 6 speed with SMF. Though am i back where i was before and should be hunting another 4motion shell to house it ??

What do you think lads? MK4 as it sits now with K04 lump in.....








Cheers,

4mo 1.8T would be the best.. that much power through front wheels is not going to be fun.. car looks nice tho mate..
