Read up on Dub projects, GTI Joe low and polished. There is a lot more to fitting a turbo than just bolting one on, and Joe has the general idea and seems to be doing it properly. You will cause yourself all sorts of problems if the conversion is not done properly. Also, turbo charging a car is to make it go better. You also need to think about how you are going to stop the bloody thing.
Don't turbo charge unless you are prepared for the final bill and you know what you are doing. :wink:
