hi ill get a few pics but person the 24v engine failed a few times with boost , mostly pistons, crank bearings, so i fitted a old mk3 vr6 obd1 , 640cc tunie and turboed that and I've not looked back since , bodywork still the same , and runing very well , engine spec wossnerr pistons, sp conrods, arp bolts,hx40 turbo, 6speed gearbox , 312mm discs, electric sterrings, same polo interior, 4wd ,side pipe usel home mods runign 30psi of boost , and loving it , but due to fuel prices ill back taking off the road and just use for summer fun

Any working videos of this? Need to hear/ see it, looks mental!

Fair enough! What you had out of it?

will get some vids as off to pod this year , fingers crossed

regards bhp or speed 30psi boost on a holset hx40 turbo , (nice to max the boost gauge out) according to speedo needle pops off the limit :-) I've snaped a few cv joints , and 2 intakes , one head gasket, and can burn 4 tyres out in 4mins 25seconds , gives some a little idea , but useing slicks is hard very gripy when warmed up so usely breaks drive shafts instead

search for adaptorman on youtube theres a few on there but that was the r32/24v turbo engine , as they look nice but , i pref the old 12v vr6 stand a lot more boost and less issiues , ill upload a fewpics

evern thow its runing well i personaly wont to start over with ms3 standalond ecu as it should be a better set up and live tuning too

next i thought id make a custom 76mm downpipe and somehow have enoe room to fit from the hx40 holset around and under the engine missing 6speed gearbox/transforbox /steering rack/and propshaft

got the oldgrinder out chop and weld up

then buzzed the lot together

next need to make 2 side pipes ,once I've rewired the engine bay
