Default Re: What shall I do

Are you thinking between the VW Golf 1.8 T or the Alfa 156 V6? Both of which are cracking cars straight out of the box.

If it was up to me, although I really really like Alfas, I'm a Dubber at heart so I'd be tempted to go for the Golf. You can uprate the turbo or look to bolting on a Jackson Racing Supercharger.

One thing I will say though is that if you're upgrading then you really are going to have to look at stengthening some engine components to cope with all the extra mush.

It is possible to tune the existing engine and the turbo it comes from the factory with but it just depends how much extra power you want as to whether this will be worth doing for you or not.
