What are the 1.8 turbo Golf's like at 200bhp?

Post by **Stuart** » Tue Mar 30, 2010 6:39 pm

Depends on the model mate.
The engines are routinely fitted into anything from;

mk1= astonishing
mk2= cracking
mk3= not bad at all
mk4= decent daily driver

The pattern to follow here is more weight=more mediocrity. The 1.8t 20v engine will produce 200hp quite comfortably and all day long with relevant fueling mods. The clutches and gearboxes are tough; the brakes will need a little help in the form of pads.

If you want a daily driver, the newer models are more refined. If you want something track biased then the older models are much lighter and therefore better from a drivers point of view.

Thanks for the info. I was just idly thumbing through ebay's Golf pages and there seems to be a bwildering array of the things.
