Alan VW Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Hi All, Its been a while. I was just wondering if anyone has put a 1.4GT engine from the new Mk5 GT into a Lupo or has come across any threads where somone has put one into a Golf or Polo.

Tigz™ Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 A couple of us are going for throttle bodies.LINCONSHIREGTI already has on his GTI, and got close to 170bhp.Paulbin has fitted a Cooper S Eaton charger to his sport and got 180bhp.Dubya has around 180bhp from his GTI from some clever engine work.Blackrat did have a HUGE turbo attached, but has since sold the lot to a member who is turning a Arosa into a Lupo GTI, that project will be intresting.

It doesn't ponce around trying to look good - it just does its job. http://youtube.com/watch?v=bkBul5IhMOQDeek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
