IbiVR 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 be interested to see whats in that kit. its cheap, so i would assume its non intercooled and fairly low boost - 6 psi ish? Ie about 270bhp ish.Just be careful what manifold your getting as us spec ones will not fit RHD cars.Turbo's definatly the way though If you go that way and need any help/advice feel free to pm me - weve done a few...Tom.

kadvr6 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 wtf £985 for a turbo conversion?? if this is the price your paying i would happily pay a bit more for one.. please keep everyone posted mate. Link to post Share on other sites
Russ_vr6 12 Posted June 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 like i said its trade from a mate who imports them lolyes its 6psi non intercooled but im sure that will be enough lol qustion does anybody ever worry about mileage when carrying out this conversion?

tubby 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Dont think i should worry just 50k on my little lump but in my opinion anything over 100k would be a bit dodgy " in my opinion only" Link to post Share on other sites
IbiVR 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 yes its 6psi non intercooled but im sure that will be enough lol Ok so i'm guessing its either Kinetic or ATP based kit. In which case the manifold will not fit and the chip supplied will not work - The manifold fouls the brake servo, and the us spec code will not run properly in a UK ecu. You will need to relocate your brake servo and get a custom mapWe get the short straw over here in the uk as far as turboing the VR. It is a good price though - Retail is around $2500 on both.My thoughts - Both these kits have good reviews and are used alot with reasonable success in the US - its not a bad way to get 270hp, although for you it's gonna be harder with more cost involved in getting it right. another £300 for map for starters. Personally its not worth the effort of turboing for that gain - For that sort of power i'd supercharge it.As far as your mileage is concerned - Just make sure your engine is healthy and running spot on and you'll be fine. I would change the chains for peice of mind as its gonna be working harder - 270 wont really bother the standard clutch. It would put the power down better with a atd/lsd diff in there, but it wont be undriveable without.Tom. Link to post Share on other sites

apd 0 Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 stealth built this set up-top fellow that vince!but only expect 200-250miles on a full tank with a mix of driving steady/hard.cars just cracked 100k.had the charger on for 50k-alls well!but did have the chainsdone at 50k with mk4 runners included.think you have to have a forged/balanced bottom end if you want to push more tha 12psi from a sc or turbo.
