rip it out and buy a 1.8t and llom and ecu would be alot cheaper as there 2 completely different engines, this was a question in this months golf plus and they said the same as i have said sorry mate

there are companies out there im sure, but to be honest i dont think its worth it, they would charge insane amount i would imagine for turbo'ing it, and you could but a mk4 1.8T car for nearly the same as yours is worth. so id just swap the car if it was me?

don't run before u can walk

drive it and enjoy the car for a year

get use to the 125 bhp and then upgrade to bigger and more powerfull car ie mk4 four motion

i think what ill end up doing is use leave it untill im 21 do interior and bodywork then buy a 1.8t swap my wheels and supension and exhaust over as they are worth just under 5000k so i think thats the best idea thanks to all your replys

hmmmm in my opinion youve picked the wrong base car, or are you thinking of insurance? the extra insurance now (on a 1.8T car), would be cheaper than a conversion in the future is how id think of it. no point modding it if it has the worng engine imo.....
