Hey guys, just wondering how big of a turbo can be run in one of out cars?

 

How big in what way?

You can 'run' any size turbo you want, as long as it fits and you have the proper manifold for it.

But, whether the car is driveable is another question.

Basically, you are just being to vague to give you an answer...

 

Ok from your profile you have a GXL. If you mean going turbo from the N/a car its not going to be easy. I suggest you read the site that Aaron Cake has. He personally did that(adding a Turbo to the N/a engine). I don't know much more about this but I wouldn't think anything bigger than the stock turbo and IC would be good. The N/a has high compression compared to the TIi engine so it needs more cooling to stay away from the dreded detonation.

LOL...You should see the new turbo I am looking at for my car....It could inhale basketballs.

 

Got any pics?

Aaron I think you could profit much from selling turbo kits man. You should look into that.

No pics, because I don't have it yet. As I said, "looking"...

No point in trying to make turbo kits. No one would buy them.

 

Well, is there any pics of it online, since you are "looking" ? :P

 

Nope...It's a custom jobbie...Local turbo shop looking into it...

 

how much hp are they good for? and how much do they cost?

 

I am not looking to turbo my car, yet anyway . My roommate has a rather large turbo he got from his summer co-op and I was wondering if it would be possible for someone to put it in a -7-. It's a T70 or something, I don't remember.

 

its not will it fit? its how much will it cost to make it fit?

 

Yea, it killed cartech. It sucks to because then we wouldnt have to hear the same **** over and over.
