what sort of bhp will you achieve out of this mate?

cool project and very different good luck with it. But surely the gains really do not warrent the money and effort.

Have you considerd running costs? Insurance? and problems? Small modfied turbo engine surely its going to be a nightmare for blowing up and leaking boost?

its going to de value the car so much aswell for the amount you are plowing into it would you not be better off keeping the car and using as an everyday and buying a starlet or somthing to mess around with you could get a dog one for £1000 and mod that to run 150bhp cheaply.

Has this been achieved before ? I know this lad obviously didnt finnish but it would be an interesting read. It winds me up people saying its a fail. My mates got a 1.3 8v turbo that blows the tash of most things around here.
