2.0gti turbo conversion?

[VW BUSH]

You'd be insane to blow your money trying to turbo the 2.0 8v when 1.8T engines are so readily available. You'd be much better off doing an engine swap to the 20vT, if what VW BUSH says is correct then a mapped 1.8T will make more power than a 2.0T

A mapped BAM 20vt will make more than two turbo 8v's all day long.
It is easier and more economical/no brainer to go down the 20vt route, but sometimes easier is not as fun even if you draw the same conclusion at the end of it

Ah good, even more reason to pursue the conversion, does anyone know if the manifold and turbo unit  from a 1.8t fits the 2.0 head then, i don't want to sell my wee baby,a s i'm passionately in love with it, it makes me smile every time i look at it, drive it and talk about it, would break my heart to part with it as we have a bit of history, ye ken, its only 8v and 115bhp. would hardly describe it as pish but do admit it needs a bit more go.

Anyone that owns a 1.8t will call your car pish because that's what they are seriously sell it and buy a 1.8t if u want more power and the only piece of history you have is that it is probably 1 of the worst mk4 golfs

Not meaning to sound harsh but so many folk come on with ideas like this and it's just I silly bud Xtex just went from putting a 1.8t in his 1.6 and I'm sure he will tell u how much happier he is

I you want to be a bit more creative get a 1.8t then put a stroker kit on so you have a 2l 20v turbo
