keep you guys updated............

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

Your not having the bloke who done the luposupercharger do it for ya??
spoke to hakkeem and he told me of someone who was having a gti polo turbo'd and he was doing it!

Good luck i want a charger for mine!!

good on ya mate and good luck , be the first so we can all follow soon, how much is it gonna set u back tho?

How much roughly would it cost to turbo a Polo Gti ??

Also,how much roughly for supercharged??

i woz gona go for superchargher option,but my m8 H wit the lupo has already supercharged his one so its try somit different.he was originally gona do it after so many so called vw specialist lettin me down but i would have to wait till end of october.the wait is jus to long!

just come back from the workshop n this guy is s**t.hes already started work on it.so far all i could see was tha the head has already been stripped.

keepu guys updated

Let us know the full details, cost, time it took etc. I fancy doing it!!

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.

Thought it was you sorry to say but i liked your front bumper so much i had to get it done!! got schmidts on the way but the mordern line ones in 8" all round!!

Keep us posted as H never tells me anything! says i gotta try it first then he'll help!!

Fancy selling your wheels then moynas if your getting new ones?
