BTW, if your prepared to spend £3500 on it, for that money you could get 200bhp out of your 1.6.

could be any i suppose but for a good job done probably £3000 plus - i too am contemplating tbhis move but need cash

either turbo corsa / mitsubishi fto

and sell all my hard work, dont know yet would rather keep the corsa!

bear in mind the piping for such a conversion is a fucking bitch.

get an uprated fuel pump (cossie ones from demon tweeks are good)

gsi fuel pump will end up melting a piston.

youd be looking at 4-4.5k all in from courntey probably (they provide new engines though - or they did)

car you need engine from is cav or cally - both the same engines but cally engine may be lower miles cos there newer.

v6 brakes £200 from v-tuning.com

engine is around £1500 for a good one

youll then need shafts/ modified engine bay. and basically what everyone else has said lol.

Theres a lad in the northwest selling his 2l turbo (used to be a gsi it's white) for £4.5 k dunno where he's from tho sorry, saw it at southport last week....

Dont forget your insurance Mugshot if your quite young dont expect to get a good quote on a turbo poss on the £2-3000 mark...

The one in TV think he comes on here APRacing I think it is pays about £2500 for his.

You sound like the type of person that needs to take there car to courtenay and leave it there with a blank cheque.

Here's a very rough list of parts and prices otherwise:

Engine, box and running gear £1500
Shafts and mounts £400
Brakes £200
Suspension £300
Exhaust £100 for downpipe
Labour £??? Depends where you take it, dont make the mistake and take it somewhere that hasn't done it before.
Gsi fuel pump should be up to it I think, if kept standard.

the cal
but i suggest askin on mig as well as here coz thee a few miggers that know a scary amount of stuff about these engines adam k on here can help you

Right i have a gsi at current moment and its to slow, im not going to tune engine cos by time i have it wud cost more than just to put a 2L turbo in.

Right im wanting info on How much it will cost to the correct hundred pound ie 1900 For the 2 l turbo conversion and all what is needed ie all round breaks, labour u name it the lot

i was thinking about 3500 for the lot Does this seem right???

Also any ideas what engine wud be easy to put in!!


Reason for upgrade is cos my gsi is slow and not spending 1000's on mods for engine when i can bang a 2L in

All help wud b gr8 no stupid comments though please im being serious here


Many thanks lads
