Question

it is an 04 manual golf gl. i cannot sell it. i want to get a turbo, but what are some other options and can you send me some links?

Answer 1

dint do nitro its for f**s, the best thing to do is to turbo or bore the motor, if you take the other persons advice i will slap you with harsh letters  

Answer 2

For a lot less money than adding a turbo and all the other required modifications, you can add a mild nitrous system instead.  

It won't be fast all the time like a turbo, but there's a great deal less $$ and modification necessary to run mild nitrous system than to modify the car to be turbocharged (and reliable for very long anyway).  

Zex (http://www.zex.com/) sells a pretty good universal nitrous starter kit for well under $1000 and the HP gains will be as good (or better) than a "cheaper" turbo upgrade would be.....you just won't be able to have that power at all times like a turbo would.

Answer 3

DO NOT Nitro your Golf!  There are tons of SAFER options for making it faster.  But before we get there you need to let us know what motor you are running...

Do yourself a favor and join the FREE VWvortex forum.  You will find EVERYTHING you ever wanted to know about modding your golf... the right way, the cheap way, the professional way, the wrong way, etc.  

Plus there is a free classifieds section of new and used parts.  You can buy the WHOLE entire turbo set up with everything you need for far less than a thousand bux!  

Depending on what motor you already have and what kind of power you are looking to get, your engine may need some further reinforcements.  You can't just slap a big turbo on and go (unless you're already running the 1.8T engine)

Also, I'd recommend trying a chip first.  They're cheap (you can even burn them yourself if you have a palm pilot) and secondly, you'd be surprised what kind of power a little re-chip of your stock computer can produce!  

The bottom line is how fast do you want to go, and how much $$$ do youwant to spend?  Check out www.vwvortex.com  You won't be disappointed. You will find tons of valuable information and get feedback (from IM chat and posts) from people doing or who have done the exact thing you are trying to do.  

Answer 4

vwvortex.com has everything for VW's.

They show you project cars and gallerie and car show information where you can get help.

It is very easy to make a light car like the Golf fast.

A simple Turbokit can add 100HP and make the car as fast as 6 cylinder cars.

A better turbokit and other modifications like exhaust system will make the car faster than most 8 cylinder cars.
