Is it possible to turbo a Mk5 2.0 Sport? my friend is thinking of upgrading from his 2.0 sport to a gti for extra boost (quite literally lol) but its more expensive.....
so would it be possible to put a turbo (the one from the gti) onto his engine? like do any of the internals have to be strengthened? i thought they mite use the same basic engine for both sport and gti (minus turbo).. but correct me if im wrong. this way it should be cheaper than buy a more expensive gti (perhaps only 6k).
otherwise has anyone done any engine mods to their Mk5? i read someone did CAI and porting, but are there any parts u can get for it? i was thinking (for my friend again) maybe for pod+CAI, 2" mandrel zorst all the way through with extractors and possibly ecu if they're around.
strut bars?
or other mods such as putting footwell lighting in (as the jetta does-would there be wiring behind the panels since they're a pretty similar car?) are the speakers any good in this golf? is it worth putting 6x9s in the back? or changing H/U?
how about spoilers? i reckon that car would look mad with a bigger rear spoiler on it!
many questions~ any help would be awesomely apprecieated!! thanks!~~~ :P
