there was a turbo on ebay a few months back, it went for a fair price as its worth around Â£2k if i remember correctly.

think a NOS package would give u more power when u need it

there is far too much work to fit a turbo! im going down the nos route!

saj had the kit weather he has got it on yet is another matter!

Have you looked into the nos. How much would this roughly cost and how much bhp would you get.

i prosume nos will be the best route, some say you need a grade a* engine to do this though?!

like the fiesta zetec, clios etc you have to run the at low psi. so i think itll be very pointless. as itll be the same on a polo i think!

With the turbo you can get 200bhp but with ALOT of work, the kit alone is Â£2500 then you need to be bored out to a 1.7 and have low compression pistons. Then there is a big chance it may go pop!

Nos you can have a very reliable system, 50BHP on tap, and the GTi engine handles this with no probs. Â£1150 from JBS

This sounds like a much better option. Less hastle as well. Have you done this before or know stuff about it.Do you know anyone thats had this done.

Josh had NOS fitted to his old Polo GTi - have a search through the old Polo GTi forum posts and you'll see there are a few threads about it - the search function at the top of teh page is excellent
