MK4 R32 Turbo, what will it make on the dyno?

[@honkpirateroberts9153]

This makes my soul happy. These never got the respect they deserved when new.

[@COMotorsports]

Cause they were heavy with no power. Just needed more jam.

[@mikecochrane1437]

Slow and heavy needs a supercharger or turbo to be the car it should have left the factory as.

[@RedondoBeach2]

The factory '04 GTI VR6 24v 2.8L 200 hp was lighter because it did not have the all-wheel drive system, and had slightly less power than the R32, but performed very nicely without mods. Definitely a GT car, not a track car, but performed very well for its intended purpose.

how much would a streetable turbo setup run? not alot of aftermarket support with these cars in terms of out of the box diy kits

[@COMotorsports]

Cost comes down to location, shops labor rate etc and what you use for parts. With turbo builds I try my hardest to use what I know what works. Sometimes we can get away with a cheaper item but for the big parts like WG, Turbo, Inj it doesn't pay to skimp.

Very easy with a lift. Moderate on your back.

[@NiPl8980]

Hey just started watching your channel, love your videos! How does the turbo fit with the ATP manifold, does the turbo get close to the transfer case or any other components? Thanks!

[@COMotorsports]

Thanks, fits completely fine. Downpipe is the tight fit...but fits.

[@ry7300]

Question: does that exhaust wrap work better than the gold film in keeping the intake temp lower?

[@COMotorsports]

Never tested it back to back so can't say for sure.

[@kennywright8537]

Worthwhile fitting a Powertrack 50/50 haldex insert.

Although that is an option, we would want more control over the haldex then that product would provide in this situation.

[@tylerhousden4944]

I have mk4 r32 that I want to turbo. I wish someone had a thorough guide for a turbo conversion. Hell, I’d even pay for it. I’ve been getting bit of info here and there on vortex, but a complete walkthrough would be great for the turbo noobs.

[@muddygti]

I’m curious, if it’s an R32 how have you stopped the all wheel drive...???

[@COMotorsports]

Watch our video titled “How to dyno a Haldex AWD Volkswagen or Audi on a 2WD dyno.” That should answer all your questions.

[@JakeVeinotte]

It makes me sad that my 2.7tt has a second turbo and like 5 more pounds of boost and I’m still at about a hundred less wheel horsepower. No replacement for displacement I suppose.

[@COMotorsports]

The replacement for displacement is turbo selection. Your's would easily do the same with the right turbo or turbos.

[@JakeVeinotte]

CO Motorsports you’re absolutely right, We have customers at our shop with bigger turbo 2.7tt’s and similar setups to this r32, and the vr6 just feels more responsive (to me at least). That being said, my f21’s do the job just fine, to go up turbo size would just be looking for a number. I have my eyes set on bit of a different setup honestly...those s6 v8tt’s are a whole new ballgame.

If you'd like to donate to the AWD dyno fund we're taking donations. Until then we use what we have. Increase in power is the same no matter what so it makes zero difference in the end.

Did you actually need the surge tank or was that added more to keep from diving into the tank with bigger/more pumps?

Basically to eliminate any potential fueling issues at the track and to give us all kinds of options when it came to pumps. Not "needed" per say.

[@dylanhendricks7267]

My honest opinion if I had to choose between r32tubo and v5turbo I would go with v5turbo

Wait!! It's not all wheel drive? So it is really just a GTI?

It's an R32. It's definitely AWD.

Wouldn't it make more sense to go on a all wheel drive Dyno to get the true to the ground hp if you have a R32?

[@COMotorsports]

@@jasonjacobsen3964 Not really. Lets put it this way, the engine doesn't care what it's on. If we do the math we can easily tell what hp power the engines making at the flywheel. Whether you do that math with AWD dyno numbers or 2WD dyno numbers... the engine is still making the same power.

what additive did yall use?

We've used a few different options over the years, however they all leave a lot of deposits so we've typically only used them on specific occasions like track event, dyno etc. I wouldn't recommend for regular use. Use race fuel or ethanol.
