mk1 golf g60 turbo
I have a mk1 golf with a g60 turbo conversion, 2.1 bottom end with forged internals etc etc. Its got a 8v head which is ported and its last dyno run was 199bhp @ the fly. I need more power!!!! whats the next step to go? bigger turbo? i think its a t3 thats on it at the mo, and it has a merc sprinter intercooler. Can i fit a 16v head? Any help will be v much apriciated!!!

20V head is apparently less efficient (in terms of gas flow) than the 16V head, hence the above suggestion.

what managemant/ecu/injectors has it got?
a T4 would be the easier upgrade as it's got the same flanges
not sure about the 16v head to be honest, don't know for sure if all the water/oil ways are in the same place (think they are) etc..
personally, go for a T4, possibly some bigger injectors and then a remap on the ecu
hope that's of some help
Oh… and get some pics up please :mrgreen: would love to see that engine bay

I know, that 200bhp was running an aftermarket chip…. and was not remapped- so i think my next route is to go for a mappble ecu to fine tune it all.
A t4 sounds interesting- what car are they from? The injectors are green top i think, i have just had them serviced by a bosch centre, when it was rolling roaded it was fueling well, but as it was not mapped i think the chip was limmiting it.
The reason i said about the 16v head was its seems crazy running all this power through the bad design of the 8v! I dont think i have seen a g60 turbo on a 16v head…..
Ill get some pics up when its stopped raining! :-)

a g60 turbo'd with a flowed head and t3 should be able to pump 250bhp. that is assuming it's all running efficiently. pipework and intercooler are worth looking at for more power (sprinter coolers are not the most efficient) and there is the option of a cam. don't go too wild though. i'd keep it under 270 deg myself. aquamist is another option to look into.

Quite, why the need for more power? 200bhp is plenty for a fwd hatch weighing under 800kgwooders said
not wishing to put a dampener on things………but……… going for mega power in a mk1 is all well and good, but can you get it onto the tarmac? will the shell take it? gearbox? etc….
