I am still looking into nodding my Golf but I am after some ideas.
If I was to swap and go down the hybrid turbo route which one should I be looking at?
-
What GTI do you have a Ko3 GTI or Ko4 GTI (Edition 30)?
-
Sorry have a GT 140 TDI
-
Your talking roughly £1000 for a stage 2 hybrid, companies like turbo dynamics or cr turbos sell them. Good for 240bhp approx.
-
Speak with CR Turbos, what I did previously was buy a spare TDI 140 turbo, then sent it to them to Hybrid, then I fitted it. This way, I didnt have to do without a car for a week.

Thanks
Do you know if it makes a diffirence if I have other parts like
New clutch, Intercooler etc?
-
Clutch depends on driving style, im still on stock but I drive it quite smoothly but I have an uprated at home for when it does give up. Intercooler not really needed, decat provides a bit more pull as I found out to my surprise. Stock injectors should be good gor 240-250 bhp.
-
As Paul mentions am also running standard clutch with no problems am going to upgrade the intercooler on mine but will run ok on standard one..Best putting a free flow exhaust on if your going down this route as well..most important upgrade the brakes
-
As per Maxitrol, brakes first as you'll want to be able to stop. Then exhaust, maybe a clutch if you're going stage 2 hybrid mine needed replacement shortly after fitting a stage 2. The fuel system (injectors and pump) and intercooler will deal with a stage 2 without much issue, but the intercooler would be worth upgrading at some point.
Give me £500 and I can ship you a CR Turbo stage 2 hybrid that has not been fitted.
