What's the cost of a turbo for a Jetta?

How much would it cost to put a turbo in a 2004 jetta VR6 and how much could it increase the horsepower by?

• Answer:

  Approx $4000 plus installation costs, you have a kit specifically made for your car. BUT I would highly recommend you also assess supercharger option http://www.vf-engineering.com/index.php?v=/kit_vw_mk4VR624v.php either a turbo or a supercharger deliver the same power increase at equivalent boost levels. both exert the same amount of stress on an engine. often in low boost (which your installation is) a supercharger is more effective: -its lighter no plumbing/piping -it runs cooler & its easier to maintain -its cheaper and installation is far easier/cheaper. -power generation occurs earlier and is more linear anyway, do some research, the power available from a supercharger for your engine is greater than the turbo and step up to increased power is cheaper and easier. the required preparation to the stock engine is the same in both cases. here's an installation example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmL1d2uhPnI..... cheers
