[quote][i]Originally posted by Daimo B[/i] Luke Thomas has a 1.6 16v Turbo that he bought from Courtnay for £3000 i think. Got a Mantzel box fitted. Spec was just the exhaust, turbo, mantzel box n dump valve :lol: Put in some poor times, but i went out in it and it was pretty bloody rapid!! But Its not reliable. Everyone who i've spoken to about turboing these engines (16v) has had problems all the time. A 1.6 16v on TB wont have as much torque as a turbo unit, but as said, is sooooooo much more reliable, and sounds sooooooooo much better than a dump valve. Not many people run the turbos up to 13psi + (usual is about 6-7psi) and dont get that big a dump. Given the chance to spend £3500 on a Courtney triple head gasket bodge job and 150bhp, or say £2500 on TB, fitted, setup, with a few other bits n bobs, i'd have the TB anyday. Turbo just isn't reliable enuff. [/quote]
