Hi all

[Pidge]

some of the fto members might know me but i am looking at fitting a turbo to one of our show cars as they have the looks but lack the grunt

I have a nos kit ready to install but thinking a turbo would be a better idea and the nos kit will be up for sale to fund the project.

So basically any knowledge is welcome and any hints and tips accepted

FTO's sound amazing.

Would love one, I reckon I'd miss my T5's torque tho - do they handle well ?

We get asked this question a lot so have a look at this thread which covers the basics.
I have to admire your ambition though!

Cheap turbos can be purchased from breakers yards which are ideal for a try it and see type project.:bigsmile:

Adding a turbo is a major engineering task and without a kit with full instructions and all the parts you need there is a big risk of blowing up the engine. Expect to spend 50 hours upwards on a project of this type. This is not the sort of modification unless you are mechanically competent.

It is worth looking at superchargers as these are easier to install than a turbo is.
