   having got used to my standard vts now am now starting to think of tuning it to get more power. thought the best way to get more power would be a turbo but also at same time want to set about it properly rather than just buy a turbo kit and bodge it in to see what happens - any1 out there who has either done such a conversion or knows the best way to go about the conversion properly please shed some light on this for me as engines arent really my thing - stereos are lol

   ok well dont have a mortgage - i know enough that i cant just bolt a turbo kit on a standard engine as most the internals probably not built to take the extra power etc

   low boost can be done for around £2k i believe if you diy it on a budget.
   basically you need to lower compression and increase fueling. theres the right way, and the cheap way ill let you search for the rest

   £3k, no need to lower compression, 180bhp 165lbsft on a stock VTS 16v.
   
   You may choose on top of that to upgrade the clutch, it's on the verge with the stock one.
