But your probably best tradding in for a cupra to tell
the truth as your need to have all the hardware plus the turbo to get near the claimed 270bhp but do the same with the cupra and your be at 340-360bhp without changing the turbo.. But it's an option I guess

Isnt that loba for the twincharged? I love that word! Bigger turbs - more lag made worse by being a small engine. Plus cooling problems. I have the tsi and for now im gonna use it for its intended purpose, looks, fuel, cheap (ish) insurance. There not the most widely modded engines especially against evry tdi and 2.0T. I could afford to buy a heavy lump of an engine but refuse to be ripped off by grabbing insurance companies.

Remap,induction,full exhaust system, lightweight parts? (carbon fibre/alluminium), hybrid turbo?(which i think involves rebuilding your current turbo???

was half looking at the 1.4 turbo and to be honest the furthest id go is a map and exhaust. Looking at youtube the other day and i was suprised how fruity they sound.

Hurdy had one fitted to his polo , found there was loads of power to be gained but the dsg box was pulling the power back , plus there were a lot of heating issues with the engine layout.
hes just sold his polo and bought a golf R !
