Description

1987 Volkswagen Jetta Mk2 Type 19 – 20V Turbo Build – 208WHP

Looking for a seriously quick, well-built Mk2 Jetta? This 20V Turbo-swapped beast has been my passion project for the last five years, with £20k+ in parts and 2, 000+ hours of work poured into it.

With 208hp at the wheels, this is no ordinary Mk2 – it’s a proper driver’s car with top-tier performance upgrades, a standalone ECU, and a lightweight, high-revving setup. It pulls hard, sounds incredible, and is built to be driven, not just looked at.

Price: £8000 – Open to Offers

I’ve reduced the price slightly due to some rust and a dented front wing, but nothing that affects performance.

Spec Highlights:

Engine & Performance:

✅ 1. 8T 20V Turbo Swap (BBU Code) – Fully overhauled
✅ ECU Master Black Series Standalone ECU
✅ Ko3s Turbo with Track Slag 3. 5” Downpipe & Full 3” Exhaust
✅ Darkside Developments Intercooler & Custom Alloy Radiator
✅ Genuine Bosch 550 Injectors & Red R8 Coils
✅ Walbro 450 Fuel Pump & Braided Fuel Lines
✅ Anti-Lag & Rolling Launch on Switch

Drivetrain & Suspension:

✅ Overhauled O2A Gearbox with Mk4 Heat-Wrapped Linkage
✅ Lightweight 7kg Flywheel & VR6 Clutch
✅ Refurbished Corrado VR6 288mm Brakes (Front) / Mk4 GTI Rear Brakes
✅ Fully Polybushed VR6 Wide-Track Setup
✅ Powder-Coated Subframe, Hubs & Rear Beam
✅ Rebuilt AVO Coilovers

Body & Interior:

✅ Lido Green Mk2 Type 19 Shell
✅ Custom Recaro Seats & Reupholstered Gear Shift Gaiter (Color Matched)
✅ ECUMASTER ADU 5” Digital Dash & Removable Steering Wheel for Security
✅ New Seals Throughout (Windows, Doors, Boot)
✅ Lockable Aero-Catch Bonnet Pins
✅ MK3 GTI BBS 15” Wheels

The Reality – Honest Condition:

Like any 35+ year-old car, it has some rust bubbles (door corners, lower windscreen, wing, rear sill) and a couple of small dents. But the chassis is solid, and it’s mechanically bulletproof.

Proven History & Recognition:

This Jetta has been featured in Slam Sanctuary and even took Sponsor’s Choice at Edition 38 – it’s a well-known, well-built car with a proper enthusiast history.

First to See Will Buy.

If you’re looking for a serious Mk2 that pulls hard, sounds insane, and is ready to drive, this is it. No time-wasters – message me if you’re interested. 1987 Volkswagen Jetta Mk2 Type 19 – 20V Turbo Build – 208WHP
