mk4 2litre 8v GTI

i managed to get around 127bhp on my old golf 2l 8v and everyone was shocked that such a slow car could make that much hp mind you i spent thousands better of doing an engine conversion

Yes it seem that the money i can spend in relation to the bhp increase it will give isn't really worth it. Probably best changing car or engine coversion. Seen a few 18turbo and dti engines for about £600-£700. And that would give me more bhp in standard form than what i have now. So if I wanted I could tweak even more.

Is it possible to have a turbo put on??? and where and how much???


My mate wants to put on his 8v...

you could prob supercharge it easier than fitting fitting a turbo..... there is a kit you can buy, think ive seen it advertised on awesome gti's website, but theres many afirm that would carry out a job like that for you.... but i think youd have to be prepared to dig deep into them pockets!!!, but it would be interesting to see something different from the norm....

I have to say the only reason i went for this model was insurance! Its a lovely looking car however I have to say I'm abit disappointed with the performance and I'm sick of seeing the petrol station forecourt. lol  I would definitely say this is not the pick of the MK4 range

Whatever power you have you always want more and you get used to it too quickly.

But if I had a bit more spare cash at the moment I would really like to get my turbo remapped.....mainly because I was blown away by a Renault Clio sport the other day :embarassed:

A few months ago in 150 mode, I would have been saying the same thing. I came accross a 172 about a month ago, & totally blitzed it.

I can't recommend a re-map enough!
