Palec 1 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 What is a good affordable turbo kit that would fit my 98' Jetta GLX?I figure there's no place better to ask such a question. I'm 18 and this is my first car. I drove my dad's Subaru WRX for awhile and really enjoyed it. He put in a bigger turbo, got it tuned and made it a lot faster. He really enjoys Volkswagen aswell but seeing as how it's an import car and an older model it's not as Common in the United States, especially in the VR6.My car is a lot faster than your average daily driver, but it's dirt stock. Only replacing parts that have gone out over the years of me and my dad owning it. (Tires, Brake rotors, Brakes, Struts, Performance exhaust, Air filter, O2 sensor, etc...) It has 220k miles on it. I'm just wondering if it's even worth it to put a turbo kit inside? And a ballpark estimate on what it would cost. There's obviously a huge community and I'd really appreciate some opinions. Thanks!-Alec VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Reaperx 181 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 It all depends on what type of power your going for and what sort of budget you got. There are people who have spent 5k plus easily on putting a turbo on a vr6 and other who have done it for less than £1k. Try looking in the bahnbrenner website they are based in the states and sell everything you could possibly need to go turbo. As for the engine mileage it won't matter if its getting rebuilt.
