What should i do to the 1.8t

Hi, as you can see ive got a 1.8t and am not sure where to go next. I have an induction kit, Full exhaust system, uprated engine mounts, and have had it revo'd what should i do next ?

 

i cant see ?!


is it a 150 or a 180?


what is putting out now? what do you want from it?

ultimately it depends what you want from the car and how much you want to spend.

 

It was 150 std but now its around 200 bhp, i have taken it on the 1/4s at santa pod and i want to compete with some of the best mk4s

 

mmmmm good luck with that,


talking huge turbos, equally huge intercoolers, etc...and alot of money!

Hi , so you wanna play with the big boy`s eh?


me too!!!!


firstly what induction kit did you go for? And like it has already been mentioned, you will need at least a front mount intercooler, big bore turbo intake pipe, Big bore turbo down pipe-possibly complete exhaust system with hi flow or removed cat, 4 bar fuel pressure regulator, turbo conversion IHI or something similar, new rods and crowns, clutch as your standard one will be f***ked by now, on car ecu remap, and a couple of bottles of nos just in case. and not forgetting to upgrade your brakes as they will be working somewhat harder than they used to..OH!!!!!!!!!!! and not forgetting.......................LOTS OF CASH

Like everybody says, you will need a shed load of cash mate

 

New intercooler should be 1st on your list. Get a big custom one made up by Alan Allard or go for a nice front mounted AMD and that'll help the cooling for a bigger turbo - If you're looking at new turbos; The Garrett GT28RS is the one to go for IMO!! A superb bit of kit!

 

1-Big side mount intercooler or Front mount IC if you want that look


2-Garrett T3 60 trim up to 300whp@20psi, T3/T4 if you want more power or a GT30R if you want alomst 500hp


The stock motor can handle a safe 400whp with good tuning.


I'm sure that US products can be sent there for a fraction of the price, i'll be willing to help you guys out if you so with.

 

killa is quite right.

after studying vortex for a few years, i think the best upgrade on a budget would be:

custom manifold...?
T3 super 60...300
decent front mount off ebay...150
custom downpipe....?
custom boost pipes
decent remap.

should see 275bhp easy.

ATP turbo do some kits, but they are in the 1500 area. possibly more.
