a few months ago i found my self my first car (mentioned in title). it was discovered on the way downtown to buy myself an ipod. i passed a house in a street we dont usually travel down and saw a golf for sale with the good looking price tag of $300. as a typical 16 yr old i was straight to the ATM to withdraw money.......... story goes on.
About the car, engine is in good condition but high km's (over 340k), new tyres, new exhaust system, bodywork is fine with only minor surface rust (now removed), interior needs work but looks presentable with seat covers, receipts for most things (all wayne penrose)

i was talking to a mate about future modifications, such as paint, interior re-trim, wheels etc... and he said "why dont u dump a new vw golf turbo engine in it with an aftermarket induction system". i first laughed and said "well anything is possible i guess, just wait and see".

Now the queston: is this possible without a great deal of engineering?
