Does look nice, would it be faster than a GTi though?

looking at this picture in his photo bucket i would have to say it is almost definitely quicker than a normal GTI:

Can't remember from the exact details on Club Polo but isn't he selling it due to the fact he is about to lose his driving license (for a reason unrelated to the fact that he owns a G40 powered GTi!)

so wats the difference between a standard gti engine and a standard g40 engine? apart from the turbo charge (or watever it is) is it the g40 is easier to modify so can get more power out of it?

From memory:

G40 is a 1.3 supercharged lump

&

GTI is a 1.6i. (obviously!)

G40 pushes around 100bhp, GTI 125bhp. You can do much the same mods to both engines, just with the G40 you can also modify the 'charger & get a load more power out of it. And being a supercharger, it's got no lag & pulls from standstill!!

yeah he is about to loose his driving licence, standard gti is 125bhp and standard g40 is 113bhp

its local to us kipper, he lives in bracknel, seen him at afew meets with it, impressive engineering but rather pointless as its a smaller engine that puts at similar bhp to a standard gti
