Sway my mind.
« on: 26 February 2008, 21:41 »
I want to get a black 3 door 16v gti in the summer, aswell as my 8v, then insure the 16v in september when the insurance renewal is here. 16v is 150bhp yeah, what can i do to get it mentally faster. Wasnt there a bolt on supercharger around here at some point? was that for the 16v? I want a mk3 thats FAST. But i dont want the 1.8turbo, as i cant find any, and they seem to costly to maintain.

thats on an 8v.

Surely you could bolt a turbo onto a 16v.
