www.mvaux.com do basic kits but are missing parts like intercooler iirc, base rates are quite cheap though, would be interested if someone did the conversion on here

turbo
intercooler
pipes
oil filter relocated
manifold
management
pistons
mantzel style inlet.

Cheers for the replies gents.

The oil filter re-location and the pistons, I suppose this is the hardest bit?

Once the car has the turbo unit fitted, is it a case of rolling road and off we go?

The intercooler, would it be a TD cav or the like?

Butler, thanks for the link. I have spoken to him before.

5chaap2k, do you have a link for these complete kits?

pistons aren't too tricky, time consuming to change but not too hard. Upgrade to ARP rod bolts while your at it

what managment you gonna run...??? how are ya lowering the compression????
you need to tap and thread the sump for an oil return from the turbo.

you will alo need to get a thicker pipe that connects to the end of the map sensor. i kept blowing a hole in mine. just little things but they make the difference between reliable and not

Sly - Was thinking that would be a good idea!

Broster - That is the kit from M-Vaux, cheaper to get it from Brazil direct. Thanks

Craig - I don't know about management at the moment, that's why i'm doing some digging. What management were you running? Compression would be done by changing pistons.

Thanks.

i never ran a managment........ i could afford that shit....... yeah i know its far better and would have got far more performance - economy etc with a proper system but i cheated and used a Pressure Switch linked to a cold start injector from a audi which i drilled into the inlet manifold. on boost the switch would activate the injector spraying a fine mint into the manifold. I could regulate the amount of fuel via a fuel regulator. Not ideal but she worked a treat.
