1.3 Turbo

take it no updates then

I have to admit this is a intresting post i also have a 1.3 driver which i'd love to drive but 55bhp dosent seem very appealing. A engine swap is seems to be a costly and lenghty procedure. However slapping a tubo or charger on it would be a cool alternitive! Anymore updates?  

Still no update then?

Still nothing? :wink:

turboing a smaller block veedub is hard. You can interchange audi bits etc on the bigger block lumps but tbh i think 200 hp out of a 1300 is adventurous without forged rods and pistons and everythign balanced, head work cams and very accurate fueling to keep it together

i had all that work done on my g40 engine and had easily over 200bhp but it still blew up even with it all being professionally done

some lad near mine was running bout that in his polo g40 been to jabba sports aswell still blew up,

i think the easiest and cheapest way is what i did with my driver years ago and had a late 1.5 mk1 golf GX lump fitted…the worst thing is the mount needs changing but thats it.
then you can cruise at 90 alldaylong and you can also fit a twinchoke carb instead of the single + you get 5spd and cheap tax thrown in to the bargain aswell.Sure you could achieve 100bhp and in a golf that aint no slouch …mine was more than adequate even in standard form. :dontknow:
