Right, After giving the Supercharger conversion some thought and a lot of phone calls latter i have decided to go for a Turbo conversion instread. www.eiptuning.com (the guys with the mental R32 Bi-tubro) have been very very helpful. With the items that i have and am looking at getting, 350-400BHP would be a realistic power figure.

So the spec so far is.....

A custom maifold.

New ECU

HKS T4 / T3 Hybrid Roller bearing turbo

Low Compression Pistons

Metal gaskets

Nice Big Intercooler

Nice new Clutch ETC

I was thinking of doing a feature on the progress of the project if you guys and girls would want to follow it.

Andy - I'd love to know how you get on and would follow this with great interest indeed []

This is something I would like to do a year or so away on my 4Mo TBH but I'll keep it looking standard on the exterior though. Keep posting updates on all the work you do please [^]

 

[GaryM]

Sounding very interesting, keep us posted!!

 

[golfv64mo]

Sweet jebus! Definately keep us posted! 400bhp V6! Holy moley!

 

[aidan]

Would this be a DIY job? How will 1 turbo run a V engine?

 

[MikeP]

Having nearly gone through this myself, I think it would be a great thing to watch you go through the (4)motions! []

We want lots of pictures! hehe

 

[spanner]

OOoh. Cool. Keep us posted on this one mate. Sounds interesting. It's the kind of thing I'd love to do.....but would never have the bottle !

 

[Martyn]

excellent!

 

[Deadlock]

loads of before, during, after pics please... I know its not the same car, but I am also looking going to be doing something big to my 1.8T, Hope it all goes well mate!

 

[MarkReading]

So the concensus is this - we want plenty of photos - before, during and after. Plenty of written stuff too if possible.

Good luck BTW

If it's like all the r32 upgrades, it won't fit a rhd car.

 

[Andy_Ran]

loads of pics dont worry guys.

As for the RHD issues, we will get round that. I have a good company doing the work with me, The guy who runs the firm used to be a head tech at VW so he knows the cars inside out. He is confident that it will all fit in.

We are going to have to get a horny manifold made to make it all work, and lucky for me i there is guy round the corner from me who does just that.

EIP recokon that i will be able to make it work with some tinkering.

Good luck mate, i'd love to do something like that to mine. Make sure you keep us up to date with the progress.

 

[M4rtin]

Sounds like a great plan... keep us all posted...

 

[blazedoobie]

Good luck and godspeed.
