Turbo conversions for 1.8t (8P)

[JJH196]

Looking at doing a turbo conversion for my 1.8tfsi (160bhp) Anyone got any experience in fitting a bigger turbo? Heard a few whispers about the IS20 turbo from the mk7 gti is a straight swap but would like some clarification or other ideas before I go ahead.

 

Also heard the MK6 gti induction kits are a perfect fit too. Is this true?

My advice would be to speak to a tuner. Don't forget about an uprated exhaust. I can recommend powerflow. And a remsp is a good idea. As well as upgraded injectors.
