What’s better ?

G60 Matt has the right idea in fact, Volkswagen has
just copied him! The new TSI engine for the Mk 5
Golf GT, making its debut at the Frankfurt Show in a
couple of weeks, has a supercharger AND a turbo
and produces 170 PS (167 bhp) and 240 Nm from a
mere 1.4* FSI engine! I drove one at the test track at
Wolfsburg last week, for a report in the next issue of
Volkswagen Driver magazine and it is sensational!
Oh, and did I mention? it also returns an overall
average of 39.2 mpg...

* Yes, just 1390 cc !

 

I've had both turbo and just got my first g60 carrado and the turbo is probably the better option but the noise from the charger is ace and far better than a turbo. My advice be a man and get a charger.

 

As He Says da sound of a charger is just irresistable especially the mk2 Golf G60 , turbos sound like bags of bolts in comparison!!! but the turbo rush is far better, solution... combined!!!

 

believe it or not the G-ladder is very effective if serviced properly not only that but if you look at the newer chargers (Eaton etc.) these are as reliable asthe turbo.

What a difference 10 months makes!

 

So we all agree then? Short hair it is.

 

No, long.

turbo

but with the new golf gt on it's way we could say supercharged and turbo , might aswell slap nos onto it too

 

after going for a ride in my m8's 280 bhp subaru .. i say turbo power!


n/a can kiss my ass lol

 

personally but a fat cam and some tb with stand alone management but if it has to be forced then a supercharger.
