Pretty much bolts in, wiring and ecu wil be needed.

Old tech engine and the blowers are very weak plus expensive to rebuild.

Yep but they need lots of love and rebuilds are not cheap, old tech charger now.

slap a large eaton TVS on it.  better still use a 16v head

An eaton m45 works well on this. Get it on g60 management or go megasquirt. MS is fully mappable by yourself or someone that knows or the g60 management will need a chip. IIRC

M45 is cheep but a bit to small the M62  is a much better matched and longer lived in said appliction also more efficent due to lower rpm required for same airflow

M45 is only really suited for up to a 1.6, as danny said m62 is the better bet.

It will still give around 170hp on these. Could get you running until you want more boost.  Only thing is, they produce quite a bit of heat in the process. It's been done also without reducing compression on standard 2L 8v at low boost. This ideally needs better engine control with standalone PCM.

M62 will give more output with less heat. Not keen on the whining they produce though.   :sick:
