matt buz 0 Posted March 30, 2004 Is it worth it? I know alot of people on the forum will say get a VR6 or a G60 but my car is in great knick and has no major problems on it. I really dont want to get another car and possibly inherit its problems. I would rather work with what I have got and maybe have something a bit different from every one else. My car has currently got 75000 on the clock and runs very strong. I would just like a bit more ooommph off the line (this is where my car really does struggle) and was thinking down the lines of a turbo. What sort of price am I looking at and who would do it? This is all speculative at the moment and I am not well verse in the engine world so if one does reply please keep it simple for me. I had a search for posts on here but you type in the word "turbo" and a gazillion threads come up. :shock: Any help is good Ta all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 30, 2004 I had a search for posts on here but you type in the word "turbo" and a gazillion threads come up. :shock: . Try 16V AND Turbo. The *AND* is the crucial part. Just putting Turbo in will bring up *all* threads with the word turbo in it! I know I've typed out loads off stuff on 16V Turbos here as I used to have one. It's all in here somewhere :lol: K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daves16v 1 Posted March 30, 2004 matt buz, Know what you mean, I have a 2L 16v that has only done 76k, is in good nick and has virtually nothing wrong with it and I also don't want to buy a high miler whilst inheriting it's problems. All these G60 and VR's are just too common :lol: be different! 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LowG 0 Posted March 30, 2004 `16v turbo is a good combination. You will have to switch either to digi or standalone if you chose to run more than 9-10 psi, also compression has to be altered on higher psi. apose gil is the wiz of the 16v he will sort you out :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Storm 0 Posted March 30, 2004 Supercharge it. Turbo = Lag = horrible. Unless the conversion is so good as to eliminate it. If your going to Supercharge it talk to Darren. 250BHP = mindblowingly fast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
