Mods advice

[Da Argentinean]

my buddy wants to get a GTI and he wants to know with mods, how fast and how much horse power can you put in the GTI...price isn't really a factor to him

so just wondering what do some of you have under the hood and how much horse power you got?

thanks

If money is not an object... Get a big turbo kit. These are the two most popular and respected kits:

if price isn't an option then yes, completely rebuild the motor (re-sleeve, rods/pistons a p&p + big turbo with all the upgraded pumbing IC etc)
add nitrous
add meth
find a tuner to tune it for you.

blah-blah-blah the sky's the limit with unlimited $$$$$.
why not just buy an F1 motor and swap it out?:biggrin:

ok i was looking for some more realistic...lol...good point though...ok lets say keeping the total cost (car+ mods) less than a R32

get a big turbo kit and lsd water/meth and sum nice tires and u will have one hell of a sleeper

ah-that's better :biggrin:
a big turbo kit would probably be the best way to go.
now that there's tunage for bigger turbos already out, you might even be able to design your own for a few grand.

otherwise, kits range from about $3-4k for a 'small, big turbo' to upwards of $5-6k for larger bb's.

wouldn't a bigger turbo give it more turbo lag?

and I'm obviously uneducated in GTI mods...so what are all these stage kits you guys talk about and what does each kit contain? + price please:biggrin:

Give you more lag over the stock setup yes. But no where near say big turbo supra lag, guessing you'd still hit full boost at 2,500 or 3,00rpm with the big turbo setups. Someone who has one may like to correct me though :wink:

i would suggest the atp gt3071r kit... ATP makes available, a 500HP capable turbo hardware kit for the FWD 2.0T FSI
which can be purchased at hereATP Turbo Kit

 

[zerocool5468]

but don't expect 500hp with a stock block.
