Default If I'm not mistaken, you can put a K04 on the 1.8T for about $1600 & be putting down about 300HP

All that may have changed though in the 3 years since I looked into it.

Default i had one it was blue

go with gt28rs or gt307 if you want some more power. simple giac chip will give you about 25hp from that small k03 that you have now. i had my fully built with gt35 400whp, lots of traction issues tho. they are fun cars

Default depends i dont think you can get that much out of that k03 lol

there are a lot of t3/t4 turbo kits for it. with fmic and all piping and everything its only like $900 its cheap if you want to consider that as a big turbo upgrade<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/vw-golf-jetta-seat-cupra-1-8-2-0-t3t4-turbo-charger-kit_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a3Q7c 39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhas hZitem250335283617QQitemZ250335283617QQptZMotorsQ5

K04 on the 1.8t will get you 250ish... 300's a bit of a stretch

Default You can expect more power, louder exhaust, and naked women throwing themselves at you.

At least that's what happened to me.
