turboing my gti...

[Ed Doe]

Yeah I could turbo a 6 for 500 quid if you don't include all the things you need to actually make it work. Obviously I didn't include those cause you'd need the same for a 2.1 build. So the figure of 3k I had being a realistic all in figure isn't going to be competitive against your 'broad figure'. That much is obvious.

And frankly rofl at running a 2.2 on an unmapped stock ecu.

Finally you still haven't got my point about the boosted application vs na. The power is all at the top. With a forced induction engine you'll get high torque throughout a much larger chunk of the rpms, meaning more area under the torque rpms graph, and therefore a faster real world car.

don't misunderstand me here, I'm not saying you shouldn't go for it, in fact I would love you to have a go so I can hear one for real rather than just in my YouTube favourites.... I'm just saying for real world driving, a turbo/supercharger is a better investment for the effect it will have on the engine/power delivery.
