Ive just had a though regarding Turbo's? hmm

[llgsimpson]

I have myself a 1.2 Extreme 16v, then they later released the Turbo version featuring an extra 25bhp but still a 1.2, my thought was is it possible to get hold of a Turbo and fit it to my standard 1.2? Im stuck with the car at the moment so selling isnt an option but I do miss the power.

If its possible I would actually consider going down that route but what would be involved?

Its going to be an expensive exercise mate. It's also going to compromise reliability.

It's a 1.2 just leave it and buy a actual fast stock car when you can afford it.

I thought that might be the case :/ when you say expensive what would you say? I think I might end up saving up and buying myself a project car

I honestly have no idea mate, everyone wants to go faster. The easiest way like i say is to buy faster.

Theres no substitute for cubic capacity!

3-4000 on converting it to a 1.2 turbo with maybe 100-120bhp?

Or sell 1.2 and spend 4500 on something not French and boosted.

Oh David, you and your anti-French campaign

I wouldnt mind a Ford cosworth Turbo mmm, Im asshamed that the wifes car is quicker and faster and lowered :/

 

[Dave..]

French car owning has been a misery! Although I would really like to get it out with the weather being so nice lately. The Clio that is...


​...and having said all that, the Audi is about to get expensive again, tracking down a cracked ABS ring today :/

The 1.2tce isnt a bad car, but the turbo is there just to increase bhp as its low pressure. For the costs of doing one...it would be better (probably cheaper and quicker) to buy a mk3 1.2 tce and its done. But I doubt you will notice any major difference.

Missus had a mk2 1.2 and now has the mk3 1.2 tce dynamique S. It is a little better...but the difference is negligible.

The turbo version is the tce ? Its not even fast either it just has a little umph to help overtake

Don't do it. It'll cost a lot of money and it still won't be a fast car.

it was just a thought with the TCE being only costing a little bit more, as much as I like my car I wish ide have gone for something else

 

[LiamR172]

Sell yours and get a RS clio?

 

[w33 brl]

more fun in building it yourself, buying boosted is to easy lol id say get a project
