kurtoski06 · 12 Aug 2007 at 00:35

I'm buying an Golf GTI Mk2 1987, 800 pounds, my first car and i will be 17 i'm gonna have to spend 249 pound a month on insurance lol, ah it will be worth part from the girlfriend giving me ear ache.

lordrobs · 12 Aug 2007 at 00:40

Just shy of THREE GRAND A YEAR to insure a £800 car?!

I'd have much more than ear ache from my gf if I was to pay that :eek:

PardonTheWait · 12 Aug 2007 at 00:40

£249 A MONTH?

A MONTH?

£2988 a year to insure a Golf GTI?

I like Golfs, but crikey. That's just stupid :/

kurtoski06 · 12 Aug 2007 at 00:42

Lol yea but i thought well if i get a GTI then i can have a nice dumpvalve on it and i can kill all of the little corsa boys lol, plus i make like 150 a week and i live with my parents so cost isnt that much. lol

Well that sounds like a well thought out reason to splash out nearly half your monthly income insuring a car that costs 6 weeks wages

Correct me if I'm wrong, but surely a mkII Golf GTI isn't turbocharged?

So you can't, in fact, put a dump valve on it?

MrMatteh · 12 Aug 2007 at 00:51

just get an accoustic one

they've been known to give up to 40bhp

I am, ofcouse, joking

Yea if im right to think that it dumps all of the air in your turbo hence making hiss when you change gear. but you need a induction kit first.?!

You need a turbo first.

Woohoo, I've been waiting for a thread like this for ages

Yes, for a dump valve to work on a NASP engine you do infact need an induction kit. Also, I've heard that uprating the spark plugs to iridium ones on the deisel model can give up to 50% gains

i can kill all of the little corsa boys

Literally.

Yes. And an exhaust whistle.

You need a turbocharger. A MkII Golf won't have a turbocharger unless it has had a 1.8 20vT conversion. Even then, an atmospheric dump valve is a bad idea as the engine runs crap with one - it works best with a recirculation valve.

MkII Golf GTIs were fast in their day 20 years ago but now they're no quicker than the average family hatchback.

Love it, yeah you need a turbo first mate, selotaping a dump valve in the bay aint gonna do nothing! I'd just like to add how much i enjoyed playing with a mk2 golf gti on the A36 in my DIESEL 306,i quite happily pulled away from him. Admittedly it was an 8v but even so, its not a rocket ship.

If you've got three grand ot spend on insurance, grab yourself a saxo vts or a 106 rallye.
