Bickerton Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 For the cost/gains of getting more power out of a 75hp lump I would personally look at dropping a polo gti 120hp in or as you can weld maybe a 1.8t lump as you can easily be looking at thousands of pounds for bodies or turbo with remaps on an supermarket Ecu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
