I'm not plannig tuning the 1.4 as it'll cost so much which to get decent gains. my mates is 1.4 16v running just shy of 150 and its cost nearly 5K. I was thinking on the lines of a 1.6 16V on tb's as there decent lively engines and it'll go straight in and save messing with the engine bay. Doing inteior next which i'm planning stripped rear, cage, front recliners and rear strut brace. Not too fussed with ice. | |

Depending on how much you're budgeting for, in the long term also, I'd say throw a 1.6 16v lump in and bang it on some tb's. Would be more different than a 2.0 turbo aswell, as theres a few about these days. | |

Tb's are good fun, but expensive. | |

At the min i'm running a x14xe and anything else quicker would be nice. I want it to do good strip times and handle well. Whats tb like running bout 160 or 180bhp. I will be doing most of the work myself and dont want to have to give up and end up paying any companys as it'll cost too much. I'd love a turbo and didn't want a 2.0 turbo as its possibly too much for the roads round mine | |

You should better do a 2 liter conversion and save money. | |

No reason for increased unreliability of a 1.6 16v turbo if the conversion is done properly and you put the right money into the right places. That will require a bit of thought and cash though. | |

You need low compression and a highly uprated cooling system to do any turbo conversion. If you get those two things right then you will have a reliable engine. | |

Trying to do something different. Thats all im thinking. I do want reliability tho. That is a majour thing as i use the car every day. MY mate has a 1.4 8V turbo and his is pretty reliable. What probs do the 16V's have if you no please. Will be doing the work myself so dont want owt going wrong. I'll av to work out a few figures and see what will be best. | |

One or two 1.6 turbos kicking about, reliability is a major issue though. | |
