sounds good! Always thought the gti could do with a bit more poke

How come your going the turbo route, as apposed to supercharging?

You have the red gti right? custom angel eyes?

Keep us updated with pics!

Cheers

H's lupo is great see it all the time at the shows!! after i went in AMD's supercharged R32 i've gotta get a charger turbos have so much lag low down!!

But i must say all my mates with there cossies and RST's you gotta love the turbo sound and how flappin fast they are!!

If memory serves me right your the guy with the red gti from gwent with the smoothed bumpers, schmidts, and the badboy bonnet!! Can i ask why have you got rid of the xenons and got angel eyes???

(may be wrong

They are custom angel eyes with xenons. If this is the gwent gti anyway....with it must be!

Good Man!

Let us no how it goes, photos if you can - i'm sure your car will be the first of many if it all goes to plan. Really going to be a ground breaking test of the GTI!

I think its worth the money, just for pure shock factor on the look of someones face when you leave them in a 200+bhp polo

Good to hear the good news Saj, I've heard you purchased a turbo kit last year at Inters so it's been a long time coming!

Looking forward to seeing the finished product, might be an idea to take some photos of the stages of the install would be interesting, you don't really appreciate what goes into something like this when you just see the end product.

yea im the guy from gwent moynas.i still got the xenon healamps.ive jus modified standard polo mk5 angels and stripped all the internals out of my originals so i got best outa both worlds.pig of a job though.
yea gota portfolio being done as well.pictures an the garage also gona add to a haynes manual giving me a step by step break down on how turb was done.
just hope everything goes to plan n there ain any complications.
