You may as well get a 2.0t donor car. So if you saying turbo will cost too much then so will the 2.0t.
ok cheers mate what about the 2.0t out of the new s3 my mate has this car and it's quick 265 standard would this go in my golf as these are going for about the same as bam engines
couple of ppl from here thinking of doing this now
Why not supercharge instead of Turbo? Slightly harder to find, but for a good used setup it'll cost you far less than a full 20vt setup, and you'll have better gains even on low boost with standard internals and with standard compression. You won't loose the noise either, and it'll be even better with the supercharger whine. Win win, win win...........

I have seen a few bam engine's with all the running gear for between 1000-1500 there is a few on ebay now and agu's can be had for 250-800 for everything
Here's one project that's already done it - 4motion Golf with S3 engine and drivetrain:http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=148220.0
