BB Tuning were in the development stages of theirs when we visited them in february, may be worth giving them a bell

it would be well cool to have turbo power in the little 172
that would be an eye opener

There is one in South Africa with a 4/5 Garret, and NOS.

This thing does sub 12 seconds 1/4 mile

As for who does them, I have no idea

Lots of ideas floating around but none that I know of that have come to anything. THe big problem with turboing a 172 is that its an expensive way of getting that sort of power in a Clio cos you wouldnt really need any more than 250hp out of it in the fwd Clio chassis anyway. Which you could do a lot more cheaply on a valver. But I suppose if you want to keep the 172 and turbo it, then go for it.
