Have looked into getting an R32 and charging it but the cost to do it right is  :stupid: :sick:

I thought about selling the eddy & getting a r32 & turbo it or supercharge it but fell of my chair when I saw the prices for a turbo kit or supercharger kit.. Gonna save up for a golfR instead..good luck with yr project mate

I know the OP has already got a written off R32, so this won't help him, but would it not be easier to just drop an ED30 engine into an R32? You would then have a 4WD Golf with a highly tunable lump with surely less modification required?

would have thought the same myself ian, i suppose if you can undertake the majority of work yourself i dont think it would matter either way

but it would be easier still to buy an S3 than it would an R32 and a GTI lump!

we'll have to agree to disagree on that (Mk6 R does look better than an S3 tho)

I can see the advantage of making a golf AWD as you'll still have cheaper tax etc than dropping a gti lump in an R32.

Personally I would get an r32 as the expense for making a GTI AWD seems a PITA and the outlay to convert would probably offset running costs of the r32.

Saying that it would be a good project to  do and enjoy reading about (like the cupra) but not something I would personally undertake

so what's faster? a GTI or an R32 or an R32 with a GTI engine or a GTI with an R32 engine?

Can't really see the point in either myself, as the insurance will be stupid on such a modified car...

Where's the fun in that? And the idea is to get a 4wd GTi, not an Audi. You could simply change the front end to that of an Ed30, job done!
