can you turbo a 2.3 litre v5 bora?

[mybora]

Hey guys,
I have a question I would like to ask you Volkswagen enthusiasts!
Is it possible to turbo my 2002 v5 bora? Im guessing you must be able?
Would love to know any of your ideas and information as im new to the VW scene!
thanks heaps, Nick

Anything is possible. It would be more expensive though because it would be a bit more rare to do but defiantly possible

[Ben J]

Yes.

Be prepared to spend probably the same amount as you spent for the entire car though.

If you are ready to spend a lot of money get a GTI, sell your car and do the GTI up.
Even then you will get a lot of torque steer, and a lot of wheelspin. Your clutch might start slippong, CV joints might wear out quicker, etc. FWD can never take a lot of power. MK5 GTIs have trouble putting power on the ground with everything stock

yeah balkanac i reckon thats the way to go to, i'll keep this for a little while and then probably upgrade to an r32. Thanks also rolf golf! greatly appreciated. cheers Nick
