Re: Need Help!!!!

Well, I'm gonna guess that the car has a 1.8l motor in it, which I think tops was 90hp in 1986...you can do pullies for 10-18hp....how far in you want to go depends on the reliability and KM on the car.....Mostly because your gains are gonna come from a forced induction setup....Best bet, if the car is in good shape, do a swap for a newer, larger powerplant...In a MkII I maintain that I would do a G60 stage 4, amidst all the critisism I'm sure to get....Another thing, the auto in that car was fairly weak, so if you want to make any true power, I would swap a 5 speed out of another car, should be fairly simple, just have to mount the pedals and stuff....

I believe the turbo off of the mk3 Turbo diesel motors swap on but maybe Brian etc over at CVD can give you some sugestions.
