If it'll help you out ill acquire any useful unbroken screws/clips from you thank you I’m near Peterborough if anyone wants any spare interior panels as well!! I’m just chucking them!! But I though if anyone needs a little clip for “this bit” or can’t find the screw for “that bit” they can have it from mine!! All the door cards etc are wrecked visually, but if someone wants a spare to wrap etc then feel free mate. I can post at postage charges as well!! Hahaha don’t think the engine will handle it!! Hahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 VW made them for South American market, the Gol and Parati 1.0 Turbo. http://www.lunaticfringe.org/vwfox/specs/VW-Gol-1000-16v-turbo.html Do it, you know you want to.

sjamezz022 Posted February 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Hahaha tempting!!! Would probably be just as easy to engine swap!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 And that is the reason no one bothers unfortunately.... Seen those engines tuned to silly hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) 260hp, 345lb torque. It is a different engine though... but still doable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_discontinued_Volkswagen_Group_petrol_engines#1.0_R4_16v_Turbo_82kW https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_discontinued_Volkswagen_Group_petrol_engines#1.0_R4_37kW Edited February 10, 2018 by Sausage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Alker Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 The site name "Lunatic Fringe" probably goes well with the whole turbo'ing a 1.0 That said, I would imagine you could get a fair bit more power from a DOHC 16v 1.0 than a 8v 1.0 SOHC? If it won't blow up then I might consider it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
