They don't look or work cheap seen a couple at the dragstrip and everytime I see them I go and stare at my bank balance and that website!! they are awesome machines and tbf. If your going to do it right first time because in 6 months you will suddenly go damn wish I'd gone 2l.
Also the 1.8KR is a high revving monster it doesn't really go till 4k add a turbo that doesn't go properly until 2.5k is a recipe for poor lap times, 1/4 mile, 0-60 and will make a huge difference to driveability in normal day to day use.
Best solution is how these guys do it, mk3 2l block and cable change gearbox, Bahn Brenner supercharger limited kit, Dished pistons, Forged con rods and crank, spacer plate and metal gaskets, Merc SLK supercharger, G60 radiator and intercooler, mappable injection or split second fifth injector, bigger bore injectors, high octane (ultimate, optimax) fuel.
Your looking at a constant 250-300 without playing with pulleys and water injection, nos. most of them drive as a daily driver and just dial it all down on the laptop with a saved file. really really really really tempting and at the same price as a 1.8t minus buying the engine
and then there's that legendary 16v engine coupled with a 2.0 bottom end on original KR head and a supercharger your laughing over most modern cars. Look out for a stock looking black mk2 called scooby eater it's a flying machine and does eat everything except big ol V8's.
Do it and then I can read your how to and find out how much it really costs if your not a Dragaholic.
