Evilangel since your doing your motor sooner than i am, i was talking to a guy that builds vw motor.
just bore your case out to whatever size your wanting, an buy the pistons forged, then buy the turbokit from aj at lowbugget and get your stock heads opened up or buy heads from cb performance.you'll have a motor that makes power w/o going over 6000rpms and still be reliable then as time goes on, change out the rockers to increase the stock cams lift or other cam.Stock cranks are forged by the way, unless you want to get one counterweighted.
I might do my motor this way when the time comes.

Seem interesting. I like the idea of a turbo, however it might take a lot of space in the engine bay, and this might be a problen since i want to add A/C.
Heat here is very extreme

In that case I will consider it... having a 1.8T like you say sounds cool
Edit: Ive checked prices, and I think that the 2007 seup s cheaper. At least I think I'll begin with it, and i will consider turbo in the future.... 2.0T

Veedub, about water, if u don't run airfilters u will ^%**££ ur engine soon cos of dust particles being sucked in and making indentations to the valve seats and piston rings, as well as scorching? the cylinder walls.

Rain in particular will not get in that easily if ur on the road.
I did this for a while, and I used to cover the carbs every time i parked, and washed the car...

Or you can order a turbokit from Mat Davis http://www.mattdavisracing.com/store.htm
He told me if you run 94x69 (1915cc) then do a little headwork, mild cam, you can have about 300hp..Im guessing you could use CB Performances heads..but I donno if his kits can be run with and a/c, you can ask him.

But I dont know if a 300hp 1915Turbo would be reliable for a daily driver, but I can imagin thats not at low boost.
But it would be cool to raise the wheels up off the ground in front of some guy in a civic

I agree. ajs stuff is great. i had the rebushed throttle and did the air cleaner mod for dual k-duds, good stuff. Ive head everything out of there is quality. i'd considered the turbo on a 1600, but then I sold the bug, instead You can get some decent street heads as well form lowbugget.
