little help?
« on: 18 March 2012, 11:31 »
I Had My golf 1.8t 6 months now, I've been told when i bought it that there is approx 220 bhp. how can i see what modifications have been done to achieve this?

i don't want to plan an upgrade if its already been done. all i know is that its had a remap, stage 2 maybe :undecided:

For a start, what year is your golf? Later models came with the KO3S turbo, which will easily allow you up to 220bhp. The only way you will truly know, is by getting it on a rolling road.

indeed, more details needed. Also take a look at my project section for a rough idea of what engine mods I needed to buy/fit to get 225bhp from mine so far :smiley:

theres a little tap on the front left of the head.

wont be able to tell from looking down at the turbo, but will be able to determine from the engine code.
