I've had a couple of these 4motion Bora's they are quite nice smooth comfy cruisers but turbo charging it would be a complete was of time and money and effort.
Its probably quite easy to do as quite a few people turbo charged VR6 golfs and corrados back in the day but the bora is a big rolly polly sponge of a thing with no steering feel or chassis finesse (I took one of them on a track day) so giving it an extra 70 bhp will just cause more headaches.
I quite like them as they are a very understated car and cost peanuts now but they dont handle well.

rs audi lump wont fit?
or sell and buy an rs4
i do like a bora mind but with the money to throw at it you would be better off buying a factory car with a map rather than a build up turbo'd n/a car or a factory conversion into a bora
or punt the bora and get another to 20vt with 225 gear and a map and pretty things

That my friend is clearly the biggest load of shit i have heard!
I have videos of this car at coombe, and they handle very well! only mod being some 18` rs4 wheels, the old man has done 3 track days in it and on each time has shown up my mate in his 182 clio, my mate in his type r, my missus in a mapped and de-catted golf 1.8t (and none of them are shy drivers) and hes 62!, i can get a video off this if anyone wishes to doubt it? from what i have seen from/being in it handeling and the way the chassis acts are NOT a problem

I know what your saying bud i would do exactly what your saying mate as the 1.8t are ALOT easier to extract power from....But its his money, and he loves the car

First off, putting a set of RS4 18" wheels on a bora with standard suspension is a daft thing to do. 2nd off, come back in about 10 years time and make a sensible comment on this thread - by which time you just might have learned as much as I have about driving cars on track. Until then as far as I am concerned you dont know jack shit about what you are talking about.

Not massive amounts mate 3 track days in the v6 4motion and 3 in a 1.8t remapped golf, then a track day in a impreza and elise, so not a expert by any means but enough in the bora to disagree on the comments made on it mate
