The above contact details are of British 'VF Engineering' distributors and registered fitters. VF Engineering's stage 2 s'charger makes 350ps on a MK IV Golf.
Maybe worth having a chat with your nearest distributor for advice. They may even have a demonstrator.
In addition to the C25XE argument, AFAIK the C25XE is around 170bhp whereas the R32 VW (engine code: BJS), is around 240bhp and is a 3.2 24V compared to a 2.5. Where is the comparison?
VW all the way

Cheers for those mate, will make a few calls this week. The C25XE argument was just to make an example of a 4 cylinder turbo being more tunable than a NA V6 for the same money

Heres something ive thought about that may cause problems.
Will a 4 pot motor mate up to the 4wd system in the golf??As none of the 4wd cars came in 4 cylinder form,they were either v5 or v6 so the engine itself will be bigger in size.
Will the gearbox/txb fit??

ALthough the corsa may be faster you need to look at the whole package, I used my Corsa as a daily driver for 4 years when everyone else was buying bm's and what not using the reasoning that the corsa was quick..
I bought my Audi and its by no means a rocket but the whole package of the car makes it 100 x better than driving a corsa everyday 
That said I am hoping to build another Corsa for next summer

Throwing away the v6 and spending 16k on a 4 pot motor is just plain retarded.
You can turbo or supercharge the V6 for less than that.
I actually dont know why cant you start with a normal 1.8t rather than butcher a good R32

These modern remaps can change the flow rates of fuel injectors, regulated fuel pressure and max turbo output.
You obviously got one that just changes the ecu map

I can neve remember the engine codes, there are 3 engine variants in the S3 afaik
Power wise they are 99-00 210 as standard, 00-03 225, both remap to the same anyway so doesn't make much odds really.

£16k was a quote I got a couple of weeks ago for a package on the R32 engine and it was a twin turbo conversion, however I agree that price is rediculous.
It turns out I will have problems mating up a 4 cylinder engine to the 4wd system as corsa_sport said. The coupra R is 210 BHP though guys.
Cheers for the opinions though, was hoping it would have been a bit more straight forward mixing engines and gearboxes but it seems not

None of the Cupra Rs were 210bhp.
