I have a 85 GSL-SE 13b. I have done some budget work to my car rb headers, pulse convertor, msd plugwires, fuel regulator. but now i am looking for something bigger then that like a turbo. when it comes to turbos, all i know is what it does and how it does it but am clueless on how to turbo my car, i mean what all do i need? and what price range am i looking at?

 

search the forum, many people get frustrated because this question is commonly asked. the easiest thing to do would be to obtain an s4 TII engine with all the bells and whistles then swap front plates etc etc... it will cost more than you think it will.

 

custom turbo mani, turbo, piping, intercooler, need to tune the car for the turbo and probably upgraded injectors (I don't know exactly for a gsl-se, i planned to turbo my 6port n/a fc but it died)

like 3000 in parts if all new prolly

 

TII with a weber,

 

^Now thats pretty.

 

Indeed it is!

 

from what i have been told by others you cannot turbo a 6 port. several people have told me that TII's are 4 port and S4 are 6 port and it will not work properly on a 6 port. but dont hold me to it. thats just what i have been told. id say just do a TII swap. should be around $1000 for the engine and just do a full swap. theres tons of walkthroughs on the forums

 

you can turbo anything, but will it work well and be reliable? go with a 13bt the engine was designed to be turboed

 

thanks everybody, i will look more into the engine swap

 

thats basically what i mean, theres really no point in the 6 port turbo because it wouldnt would work properly or efficiently.
