Last night i dreamt of a turbo polo.. now that i have this bug stuck in my head, i have some questions..

How much boost can the stock internals take ?
I am looking for power from 3k - 6krpm
What turbo , intercooler, bov should i go for ?
and finally the approx build cost ?

Ah! It gets repetitive in my case

How much boost can the stock internals take ?

Approximately 6psi would be a safe bet.

I am looking for power from 3k - 6krpm

You would need a relatively large turbo if you want it to spool at 3k.

What turbo , intercooler, bov should i go for ?

Turbo - Something bigger than the GT25. Maybe a T3/T4 or even a IHI VF24.
Intercooler - PWR.
BOV - Greddy S Type/HKS SSQV/Apexi Spec II - You cannot go wrong with any of these. Personally I love the way the Blitz sounds.

and finally the approx build cost ?

~2-3L. No cutting corners. A neat professional build is what you should be looking at.

Stumpy! Man he can get a full build from rrp for under 2l! What is this budget of yours include?!

What is this budget of yours include?

Full Turbo kit, good tyres, stiffer springs or even better a complete coil over kit. The rest would depend on how much power/boost he wants to run.

Let it be a dream itself!

I was expecting it to be under 1.5 Lacs only for the turbo setup..

You could manage it, IF you go with a smaller turbo. Ideally speaking the approximate cost break up for brand new parts would be like this.

1. Turbo - 40-50k from Garett or IHI.
2. BOV - 15k.
3. Intercooler - 20k.
4. Clutch - 15k.
5. Hoses - 10k.
6. Exhaust manifold - 15-20k.
7. Piping etc - 10k.
8. Tuner charges + Labour etc - 10-20k depending on who does it.
9. Misc stuff - 10-20k.

Like binz said RRP might have a Turbo Drive package for under 2L. You may want to explore that option.

I sourced the parts myself for my turbo kit, so it worked out a lot cheaper.

[binz]

Turbodrive package was 1.6l, but that varies car to car i think.

What parts do you have stumpy?

What parts do you have stumpy?

The old stuff only man, IC, BOV, manifold, clutch. A friend is coming down from NZ in a few months, have asked him to bring down a turbo. Hoping that by then, I will be able to sort out the rest of the issues on the car.
