I was referring to the quote from davy80 "they are so much more reliabe than the 1.8t" in standard form.

ah okie dokies :D

For me there is also an alternative motive for the turbo. as in my first post on this subject, its what i want to do

tis easy... you get piggy back units that fit between the oil filter and the block.... or they could be using a more hardcore way of getting oil...., tis normally done from a piggy back then through a seperate cooler then to the turbo then back to the sump... engines are easy and if youve got you head screwed ont here not that hard to work out how to do what... yeah theres money involved but some people love there cars and engines.... (ive had mk4 gti's and audi 20vt's etc) but im back to a mk3 vr6, cause i love the noise and power delivery why the funk didnt vw uk put these in as fwd as they did in the american golf gti mk4?? lol... id be a happy as f00k person then!!


anyways, i looked into ways of tuning my n/a 20'v gti , and other than fitting carbs and a diffo ignition system the turbo option was the only way, so by turboing or chargin the 2.0 snail as you call it is something youll get noticed for , which as ive always said 'take a break from the norm' .... the vw 'scene' is great but it gets boring after youve been in it for so long... (well i have ) so to see some thing fresh some one to throw some cash at is all good!! regardless of what performance figures it kicks out at the end... there scope for more!!

Will always love my mk4 but she had to go...225 Quattro TT in its place....but its still black (she lives on in spirit!)

TBH i dont think im gonna buy any kits but that is another great link

Ive managed to source so far

Oil catch tank
Green injectors
Fast Flow Sports Cat
TIAL 38mm wastegate

I think the only things i will be spending good money on is the Turbo.

I think im gonna have a shot at fabricating myself a manifold making equal length pipes

thats about it for now :D
