Hello people,
I have recently acquired a scirocco with a turbo technics conversion, I've owned a few sciroccos in the past and when I saw this advertised i decided I had to have it.
I've been trying to find others with the same kit so this is just a short introduction and a shout out to anyone else out there with the same setup. It's a gtx 8v dx engine

Re: Gtx turbo
Great purchase - it was posted up on the Facebook page and like me, I'm sure most viewers had never heard of a TT'd Scirocco.
It'll be worth your while also joining the Club GTI forum and asking the same question - I'm sure there will a mk1 Golf or two with the same conversion - and both cars are pretty much identical under the skin.

Re: Gtx turbo
Yes, that's the one. I've been searching about and found a fair few mk1 and 2 golfs with the same kit, I've just never seen or heard of it on a scirocco not fitted from new anyway it's got to be quite a rare car. I just wanted to post this and hopefully find someone else with the same setup

Re: Gtx turbo
Very nice find... 
I've only seen 1 Mk2 Scirocco with this set up and you now may have the car I've seen/read about.
Few Mk1 Golfs about though and if anyone wants a Turbo charged Mk2 Scirocco the 20VT is a popular engine choice now a days.

Re: Gtx turbo
There was another turbo technics mk2 at the National meeting a year or two ago, I’m pretty sure. Glad to see the new owner of this one here, welcome.

Re: Gtx turbo
Yeah I'm pretty chuffed, it's not perfect but it's still in better nick than any other scirocco I've had. I might need to post this in another section but I could do with knowing how I check the boost. I've found a switch under the steering column and I've read about there being two boost settings, low and high but I've had a play about and I can't say I feel any difference. It's very quick but I'm sure it should make a noticeable difference. I could be switching the fog lights on and off for all I know, so what sort of tool do I need to check boost pressure? I have searched on't tinternet but nothing specific. Any help would be much appreciated

Brilliant to hear that one is still out there.
Do start a project thread on this lovely old beast.
