MKIV GTI 1.8Ts

[JohnnyT.]

Opinions on them? How bad is the torque steer and such, and for anyone that has put k04 turbos on them how much of a difference in cornering does it make a big difference? and how much do putting quaife or peloquin LSDs help. I have researched and a lot of car review websites said it doesn't have that much torque steer but then again they are driving close to or a completely stock car. also reliability wise? Thanks in advance

hmm. well I like/liked mine. no k04 though.. looking to get a "real" turbo :P

k04's are a slight bump over the power band.. a lil more power than chipping it... great for a reliable upgrade... garett turbos in much larger sizes have been much more popular in todays world though

I have a ko4 and I had my gli revoed and I love it!!!!!!

Well i've been debating about just chipping it for some extra hp.

Turboback, diverter valve, and an Revo/APR/GIAC chip makes those cars really peppy.

I have a jetta with a lot of bolt ons and I love it and its fast enough, i have a friend with a ko4 GTI and thats thing is pretty fast and my friends gt2871 is even better.

yeah thats one thing that i would definitely do is dogbone mounts. i heard that the wheel hop can get pretty bad

you wont need to worry about a lsd unless your using something bigger than a k04 if you get a gt28rs or bigger is when you should worry about an lsd...friend used to have a t3/t4 50 trim 20th jazz blue thing ripped love external wastegate im pretty sure if you gunned it in 1st you would have snapped the axle on that thing hehe
