    Evening

    Does anyone know who would be willing to take this on and make a good job of it?

    Turbo with throttle bodies?

    Most places would be willing to give it a shot - its more your choice to decide who you're comfortable with.

    As for making a good job of it, be best to speak to the company you decide with what they feel would be best to use to map it. No point in getting a company you're happy with to map it with software they've never used before.

    Likewise no point getting a company to map it with something they're happy with, if you can't get it mapped elsewhere or their follow up service is crap.


    A more detailed spec, and rough indication of where you are in the country would help with suggestions. Also what spec standalone you need (ie do you need sequential injectors, lots of AUX outputs for Idle control valves, wastegates etc).

    Why use boost and throttlebodies? It will cause more problems than are worth it.

    ^^not always..

    nissan pulsar use this system and they are good engines when looked after. major problem is normally mapping at low throttle openings and under light load. thats why you normally run nice plenum with big tb.

    its is not the "best" solution but they sound god damn tasty.

    personally i wouldnt bother with it, just use a c2 metal inlet if going boost on a 16v engine.

    Bodies gives more arseache than its worth just ask sybez.

    I'd also say if you're turbo'ing then don't use bodies. Just a normal inlet with plenum etc.

    im in the process of boosting atm, and Ryan you stated above about using a metal inlet off a c2, what is the advantages of this?? and is it a straight fit?? or is there alterations required to get it on??

    I am in the same situation - in the process of boosting. I would image the c2 inlet has a more refined flow, but whether or not it makes any real noticeable difference is what i would like to know!

    metal inlet can take more pressure, also has slightly better flowing iirc.

    you need to convert the tb to the saxo cable system though.

    gmc will know best as they did it to andyLs supercharged monster.

    Was also thinking about running something else aswell as a turbo on my vtr, would it be possible to run a supercharger alongside a turbo setup? I was thinking probably yes, but would cost quite a lot!!

    Anyone have any thoughts, what would i need? I'd imagine some custom fabrication??

    Compound charging. (s/c and turbo)

    Check the DP engineering website for a twin-turbo and supercharged 1.4 TU

    Yeah i've seen that 206, it is MENTAL!! The ammount of work and custom fabrication that has gone into that is massive!!

    Would this be possible with my engine and what sort of custom parts would be needed??
