Im thinking of replacing the pooie KKK turbo with a more powerfull garrett or somthing, and i have a mate who is a really good mechanic so will get fitting for free (on the condition i rub down his mk1 golf. lol).

If i fit it, will i need a remap for the engine to run right, or will i just not get full boost or run lean?

If only the case wer true

You will need a remap, a fmic and a performance exhaust to make the best of it.

Cost usually in the region of 2k for that little lot. :eek:

Not worth replacing KKK with Garrett unless you do something else too - or if the KKK is broken.

If you do replace it, get a hybrid, they will run nice and reliable and are just as easy to fit (assuming you stick with sensible size ones). You can add to that the cost of a remap, FMIC wouldnt hurt either but you can get away with pikey arch vent mod if you dont go too crazy on the map and are prepared for a little heatsoaking during the warmer times of the year, or if booting it hard through the gears
