Not familiar with a turbo kit for the 1.6 lump, but you could always transplant the lump from a 2.0 GTi ( but it's all down to cost as you say), so you could always strip out your car ( remove the back seats, any heavy ice such as a bass box etc ), fit uprated braked pads & new fluid ( so you can brake that little bit later and more confidently! ) and get plenty of air to your filter, remove the cat if you have one and get a freer flowing exhaust....anyone else got any suggestions :?:

If your thinking of spending 2k on a turbo kit why not sell it and buy a
gtir for 3.5k to 4.5k that would make more sense :wink: . and befor you
say I can't afford the insurance what would it be on a turbo'ed gti :?: .

Bit dangerous that one..
AFC to adjust your fueling a bit..
Some re-profiled cams
An induction kit
A new header
Advance your timing

That would make quite a good start..

Have an accident with someone else and ur insurance company would disown u and u would end up paying everything. Dont forget ur normally covered for up to so many £100,000's if they die etc, u would have to pay it.

Sometimes I'm scared to venture out onto the roads knowing the number of people drving around uninsured.

If they're too hard up to pay for insurance, how the fook are they gonna pay for me being in a wheelchair for the rest of my life when they hit me ? :(

Hope it never happens!

I'd either get a GTi or do the engine swap.Either way will work out cheaper or the same as the turbo kit.
Chill out-people assumed you were going to drive it on the road-we don't get many grass trackers here.

For £2K you could easily do a gtir engine conversion just get a front cut from Japan and you'll have pretty much everything you need and you can sell the gtir gearbox and all the rest of the bits you don't need to fund a decent gearbox for it :wink:

Strip out everything you don't need and fit some smaller wheels and tyres. That should help you abit.
