    Finally opting for 20V Turbo Power Gary? Whatever next!

    Good luck if you are.......good choice haven experience of both on track. Good little lumps the 20v's. Good low down torque and mid range...totally different driving style on track on the little K03.
    All change again when it's big IHI or similar.

    My next mod using a G28 unit. I will re build at same time....will have to cost it up and compare the investment in another car. Still like the mapped MK5 GTI I drove.
    Not up to serious track work unless brakes and intercooler done though plus chip....all big money again hence MKIV project seems cheaper even if dead money.

    Nice balance over the front axle...VR6 can be a bit of issue on the finer handling points

    I'm pretty certain you haven't owned a MK2 vr, but have you driven one to make an opinion based on that?
