Fitting a Turbo

[Dalo Harkin]

Better ring your insurance too and declare a turbo an a modification, the person will then ask how much BHP it increases the car over stock.
as the others have said save for a car that has a turbo on at the start.

In terms of mods there is not much you can do other than uprated air filter or cai, stainless exhaust, and suspension for handling gains

[AlanD]

With all that in mind, how can I improve performance? (Apart from selling the car and getting one witha turbo?)

At the risk of also sounding negative dont bother. Save your money for the 1.8T.

[Adam]

Why don't you drop a 1.8T lump in?

Can be cheap nowadays.

yep it took him and Bob approx 1 day to swap the engine in and out but the clocks and ECU needed recoding which was easier said than done sadly
