Worth talking to him, cos he does have something turbocharged, and it aint a LET... yeah hes got 1 but its 14xe think he had problems when he got it. hes just got it fitted after rebuilding it so dont think the reliabilty is good on them but better asking him

	Wouldn't bother personally, waste of time/money for the power you'd get and reliability issues

Done anything to the bimma yet col? Hmmmm I still dont think so, i see it around alot - Its not fast. Maybe im wrong, it has been known to happen:lol: Fixed all the broken bits of trim/electrics etc - Put full new lock set on it, new window winder, door handle, fog light switch, window wipers, a bulb, piece of plastic dash, metal cover from the outside cost me a total of £7:lol: Had loads of bits stuffed up my top:lol: Gave it a wash:) Think I might drill the airbox this weekend and order a K&N filter:lol: Still looking for alloys and exhaust:P Need to spend more time getting the MR2 ready to go - its getting neglected:lol:

	the nova in total vaux this month is a 1.6 turbo it will run 10psi all day long and has no probs only has probs when he runs higher boost he is knocking out 200bhp and to be honest it dont cost that much if ya good with ya hands and can do itya self like he did

	:lol: @ the d/v bit, I think you should be worrying more about the turbo, it'd only be a low boost conversion that'd run relaibly (well relatively) so wouldn't get much tishhh anyway. If you really want it done and wana spend double the money of a c20xe conversion for about the same power, courtney or regal would probably take it on, but there have been some bad stories about them and turboing 16xe's

	you'd end up breaking your car
BabyBlade	posted on 14th Apr 04 at 06:37
	it wud cost thousands for a small bhp increase in comparison
crazycorza	posted on 14th Apr 04 at 06:27
	Thinking of having this done, i saw a 1.6 Nova in Redline a while ago and this had a turbo, etc on. Anyone any ideas of cost of this, or who could do the job???? It may be my next mod!!! Cheers
