Because the R32 is normally aspirated? :rolleyes: ;) :bleh:
It shall be moved to the Turbo section once it has its breather on :D

Apologies for my mis-posting.
She's having a T4 Turbonetics blower and yes, tis EIP based!!
is it a left hooker? as I was sure there was a steering column & brake servo in the way - that's the problem with a tubby on them?

We've decided to do the development work ourselves with the EIP kit. Tis a right hand drive. Thats why we had it in to compare the right hand drive against the left, looks fairly roomy, dont know what all the fuss is about. :D
i saw a vid of a turbod R32 at gti inters, went like shit off a shovel.
the R32 should be turbo'd as std i rekon, they lack a punch to match their looks!
(yes i have driven one!) :p

The fuss was with the HPA twin tubo kit, run out of room quite quickly then..lol.
Whats the expected output?
Some of those tuned R32s are very impressive.
Is it true that VAG have developed a twin turbo version of the 3.2 litre engine themselves (Small turbos though no doubt)? I think at one point they were considering putting it in an RS3, but I think that got canned.

Much better with a full Milltek inc sports cats, Schrick cams and a remap though :)
And yes I have also driven one, quite alot ;)

Saw the HPA one, quite impressive, EIP are quite friendly with us ATM but they want to wait till the spring to do some proper development work with us. We however are ready now to tackle that area of the market and have an R32 ready to be done.
Does anyone know of a R32 turbo in the UK???

They do kits for the 1.8T engine, to be tested over the next few months. Initially we won't be upgrading on the development car, but we will when we do our own stage 4 version.
R32 turbo sounds awesome, the soundtrack on that is gonna be amazing - V6 and a turbo, yaowza!!! :D
