1.8 turbos, how much power can be had without spending fortunes?

you don't get 210 with just a remap.

starting with a 150bhp, 210 seems highly unlikely!

190bhp or thereabouts with a map and about 230ftlb of torque.

180-190bhp with a decent remap probably... Plenty of 1.8T tuning parts around though, think the main one is upgrading to a K03s, K04 or Hybrid turbo to see 200+bhp with the rest of the mods to go with it, probably looking into the 'spending fortunes' category there there

hmmm, im gettin tempted by these as more and more friends are getting them. only £700 to insure for the yeah which is only £100 more than my corsa!
i fancy a turbo car, astras are more to insure as well which is another option

They are slow 1.8 turbo with only 150bhp and 0-60 in 8.5 seconds.

My mates 1.6 C2 loeb does 0-60 in 7.9 seconds.

i think astra 1.8 SRI's do 0-60 in 8.5 seconds

everything beats me as it is. my mates kept up with another mates 306 gti-6 which will be more than enough for me for the time being until i can get to 200bhp, then start aiming for 300

A Golf 1.8T with nearly 200bhp is gonna be pretty nippy.
