I did a search for "turbo" and was surprised that I didn't find any threads on adding a turbo to a stock 1.7, 1.8, or 2.0. Is this not a possibility or just not a good idea because of reliability and longevity issues? What would be better for 160-180hp, turbo a 1.8 or swap in a 6? What would be cheaper?

depends on a lot of things....
if you have to pay someone to add the turbo to your car, (@$50 an hour or so, minimum) it might be cheaper to do a six....then again, if you have to pay someone to do the /6 conversion, it might be cheaper to do the turbo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) there are at least 2 people on the BBS running /4 motors with a turbo, one did it himself and the other one bought the car with it installed..... Everything is pretty much custom, there will not be a simple bill of materials and instructions available..it's one of those things that if you have to ask about it, forget it unless you have deep pockets or can do 90% of the work yourself......you should start off buying a few books on the subject if you are serious about it... |
