     Hi guy's,

    I'm looking into buying a Golf GTI Turbo, and I'm not very vamiliar with the models at all.

    Basically i want my gti turbo to come with all the heated leather seats, electric windows and air-con etc.

    But i have seen on other forums that some of the years have different engines. I'm looking for advice on which year to look for from a modifying point of view, im aiming to get one up to around 250bhp for the fore-see-able future and this looks relatively cheap to do with the adition of an exhaust sytem an airfilter, a dump-valve and a re-map...

    can anyone advise me on what i should do?

    thanks,

    Leigh

     As for which model to go with well its up to you....but i am sure the the early AGU engined golfs had a bigger port head which if i am right leaves more oppertunity for expansion on power.

     

    But to get to 250BHP you will require a lot more than what you have listed aboveBig Smile

    I would think that maybe either a K03s hybrid turbo would get you there with:

    Turbo back exhaust

    Turbo intake pipe

    Front Mount Intercooler or uprated side mount

    and a good live remap.

    or a K04 turbo conversion but then your talking about a lot of money as you need new pipework. best thing to do is a small search on here about gaining more power and you will soon see how easy it is to destroy the bank balanceSmile

     

    Hope this helps
