Guest ganjademon Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 hi all im new here, in fact i dont actually have my cabby yet! im looking at getting either a mk5 or 6 1.8si (the 130ps ones) and was wondering if it was possible to attach a turbo to it or would i need a new engine? i assume i would at least need a new ecu as well but im a bit of an amatuer when it come to cars any help greatly appreciated chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sybluese Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Hello and how are you. good luck for your search on the cabby front, reckon ebay is the way as for the engine have a look at this site on google TURBO BUILDZ. the guy nathan is a real nice bloke and has been turbo-ing zetecs for ages and is incredibly helpfull. Just bought my turbo engine from him second hand s2 engine ,box,rad,turbo,inlet the whole shabang for 500 quid so hes cheap as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest benny Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 if you want a quick cab dont get a escort unless you wanna spend big bucks, you;ll need at least a 2.1 zetec or zvh engine for it to be quick, or cossie running gear, just stickin a 1.6 turbo lump in your cab wont make it that quick theyre to heavy!!! my 2.1 zvh keeps up with most standard 130 bhp escort turbos and its 150 bhp a tuned one wastes me!!!!
