Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

To me no Golf or WRX is worth that kind of money! I'm not disputing how money it cost's to build these cars as I know how much you can throw at high performance cars.Originally posted by GoLfManthe HPA R32 is 500hp twin turbo... that wouldnt cost $100,000 to do maybe about $10g's, and that would be quicker than that WRX 
Um $10g, I'd hate to tell you golfman but,
First you have to buy a R32. Conservative $45000!
HPA(HGP who's the manufacturer) 542PS/710Nm kit 30'000euro ($50,451.16 AUD!) kit only
Then add roughly 13'000euro($21700AUD) for misc. like upgrade front & brakes, upgrade gearbox internals & gearing to cope with power upgrades etc.
If you don't believe do a check. http://www.hgp-turbo.de/
I can read enough of it to know.
Trust me this stuff isn't cheap.
Lets see $117'151AUD. that's without all of the tax,duty & freight on the parts. Then add the machining costs & engineering/EPA certificates. Oh & labour!
Feel free to correct me.
Another eg. EIP kits. A turbo kit alone will set you back approx $20'000AUD.
Then you have to upgrade the trans, brakes, driveline the lot.
You could build it yourself for less but ask bugracer how much his VR6 will cost finished.
I know my 20VT engine/trans combo will cost easily $25G incl. buying the engine & without buying the car!
