"Cheap" turbo kit for a 172!

[Jani76]

Hi Guys,

Has anyone have experience with these turbo kits? I can make a free flow exhaust and install the kit but what about the ECU? Can the stock ECU custom re-mapped or need an aftermarket one or some people say just piggybacked? I don't want to break any dyno record just have more midrange with the stock internals.

EFI Parts do a boost module thing that allows mapping

Then add on all your ancilliary stuff like intercooler, pipework and so on, a proper map, and installation and you're well past two grand.

At nearly 400 quid you're fairly close to entry level stand-alone systems.

Cheap universal stuff.

£100 eBay Chinese turbo
£50 Manifold
£50 intercooler
£75 universal boost pipework
£30 turbo flange
Etc

Oil return pipework with jubilee clips is normally the sign that 99% of parts have been scrimped on ?
