Re: compression
The engine importers are selling 1.8T engines for around R6k-R8k - might be cheaper to buy one of those and run it.
Budget at least R20k for a Golf turbo engine
Do you have a crossflow or normal 1.8? Shortblock or longblock?
Lots of recipes for turbo 8v's.

If it's too low, you're too old
