Yeah standard clutch and injectors everything! I loaded a 2bar map on the vnt15 and made 118kw 434nm out of a pd100 turbo, BUT it blew after going at an insane speed behind a opel corsa OPC. Then fitted the cupra turbo and loaded a 1.7bar map and now doing 120kw 400nm without any hassles. Have a lot of accomodating mods aswell


I spoke to a friend that owns a panelbeating and customising business and he said its not advisable to fit a 9n3 front, as the day when I wanna sell the car they're gonna say the car had a smash that's why it has a 9n3 front

How much power in terms of BHPPPPPPP?

160bhp me thinks

n not far off double the torque of a Polo Gti

It'd be a bit of a hassle, but you could always put the stock front-end back on and sell the 9n3 front to someone else who wants to do the conversion? Or take some before / progress / after pics to show the car was fine before anything was changed?

It is a tad more affordable to keep your car and upgrade it rather than buy another one.

That sounds about right 160bhp is about 118kw

I managed to beat a Golf 6 GTI DSG over 400m at a local racetrack

I respect your choice and in no way trying to force my opinion on you end of the day its your car and you have to drive it
If you want to save money then try calling all the VAG car breakers in the country and see they can get you the front end in the
same colour then it would be just a case of swaping the thing.

Well you can afford a new car by saving that tad money you spend on the car to upgrade

I like customising my car and spending money on it as we all do but I prefer to do it under a limit where
at the same time I dont lose so much money that I cant even afford to buy another car or worse cant pay my bill .
Yeah you can change the look of a car and modify the engine but again you can only take it up to a limit where you have
to think whether is it really worth it or not I spend alot of money on my 9N and couple of weeks ago traded her off 'Standard'
for a GTI. Although surprisingly I got back the money I bought it for but lost alot on all the mods which I had to sell
privately lol So this time money would be spent more maturely and at the right mods......lol

End of the day everybody have a different opinion and outlook in life so I respect that Just wanted to tell what I thought of it........
