Default help with modification!

hello bug fans all over the world ^^
i just bought the 2001 1.8T beetle CUP EDITION..
it's a rare car so i bought it and i would like to restore it, but 185hp is too low for me ..
so my question is .. which company sells a complete reliable daly use turbo kit for this car!? cause i don't wanna buy parts from different sites .. i'm looking for a complete bolt on kit that is good for daily use ...
can u guys help me please!? aiming 400+rwhp

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

Is that 400 Horsepower

Good luck on a front wheel drive Bug.

Edit: Confused now, is it a 4WD Bug ? For gains of that magnitude, you want to search for MyBlackBeetle threads

270 horsepower is about the limit for safe driving on a FWD Bug

"400HP" + "daily use" on a New Beetle equals "does not compute"

Especially with the specified need for a complete "bolt-on" solution; ain't gonna happen...

400hp as a dd is a far stretch.
300hp with a BT kit is way more feasible.
