Forced induction is never just bolt on unless you're doing a VR as that was designed to be charged in the first place.

New exhaust manifold to sit the turbo onto, which i could maybe get 2nd hand? ECU? could i just get a remap? Or would it be a new ecu? engine rebuild dont sound cheap though!

What power could i get from a turboed 16v, as i want sumfin thats guna fly, or im guna look back at the 1.8turbos.

Would the manifold made for a VR6 fit the 16v? as there is loads of turbo manifolds for VR6s for sale, but not for 16vs.....
