Welcome to the forum. :smiley:

Are you looking for a Golf GTI and converting to the Edition 30 turbo or a Golf Edition 30?

For the benefits of the engine and tuning potential I'd go for the Edition 30 if your budget allows. A straight remap with no other mods will see 280-290bhp.
Golf R gone.

Or else you can try to look in the post i just started in the performance section. There you will find the parts you need for the turbo-upgrade... Besides those i would upgrade the fuelpump, IC and exhaust... then you would have good numbers  :happy2:
