Difference
« on: 08 August 2008, 17:41 »
I have been reading the guides on mk4 turbos, and i want to know a few things that i havnt seen covered. first is...

The difference between the 150bhp and 180bhp? Are the engines the same or not? Im thinkin it would be easier to get a 150bhp mapped up to 180bhp + Or do they have different engines?

Also as the years went on, what engine changes happened? So what year should i be going for?

I want a mk4 1.8turbo fairly soon, as im bored to hell of the mk3. Want me a nice black 3 door turbo, preferably already with an r32 body kit on it.

Any help would be awesome.

Cheers

Mike

So in all honesty its better to just go for the 150bhp model, and get a remap?

I have a black 3 door Golf turbo. not for sale though! AUM aswell!

Anyway AUM code (2000 onwwards map to about 210BHP) although AGU map to 190BHP they have the stronger internals. Read the what power should I expect in the maintenance section.

I would buy a standard one and do it yourself as you don't know if it's be done properly or if it's genuine.

Yeah, i did read that thread. Cheers :D

I will probs try and get one original.

How much would it cost to get the r32 body kit, front sides and rear and get it fitted/sprayed??

Anyone done it, as i would also want an r32 style exhaust (have a custom powerflow one atm)
