Also, some would argue that the 1.8 16v engine has more potential.________________________________________ |

Aye, Jim lad. I'm a pirate. Genuinely, start with a GTI-6. You could buy one for about a grand, very little point starting with a 1.8 and changing all the bodywork, electrics, engine mounts and engine just to fit a supercharger, when you could start with 90% of the work done for you anyway  If you decide to do that, all the information is already on here. Just have a read through some of the project threads and do some searching ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |
