Well SWMBO has decreed that the golf is a bit on the gutless side.WTF? 8v
Gti which i thought pulled well. and has decided she wants more oomph.

any suggestions for a sizeable(noticeable) hike in power?.

first thought was to transplant a 16v lump in what sort of difference?

secondly what sort of difficulties in fitting a 1.8T lump?

any thoughts guys?

Relatively easy, but not worth it, the 8v is a nicer car to drive day to
day.

Stupidly expensive, mega amounts of hassle involving dash transplants,
lock transplants or custom ECUs.

De-chav it.... OEM grille, more modest drop and either BBS cross-spokes
or steels. YKIMS.

Put the red top you've got kicking about in it - I'm sure a man of your
talents could manage that one :-)

Nope no way no how. Redtop is Van bound

Steve swmbo wont change the looks of the cars other than insisting that it
is resprayed punto baby blue(that yucky light blue colour on the new puntos
and the rims redone in anthracite. either this or swmbo will inflict muchos
pain upon me

Rob, seriously, listen to what people tell you on here. If you don't
believe them, ask Vamp. He once wanted to put neons in a Cavalier, and he
saw the light and started buying hairdresser posemobiles.

Turbo
Supercharger
K&N and a Peco BB4

problem is that only works with 1.2 novas
