    We don't mean to take the piss, i'd definately take nathans advice. He seems like hes on the right wavelength with tesco.
    That heavy duty tupperware is pretty hardcore stuff. Make sure you check on moneysupermarket first though.. you might be able to get it cheaper somewhere else.

    Hi mate, dnt take any notice of these prats©, they always take the piss out of members with no avatar and a location name after a bird on bo Selecta. Btw how is Kezz? Ya bastard.

    Anyway, you need a turbo.

    As well as the arial of of an old motarola mobile telephone, if you can get the one thats 4" long then thats good, once you have this wrap some bacon around it then throw it in the bin as you dont need it.

    Obviously you are going to need a larger radiator, i reccomend delonghi, currently have an offer on oil filled radiators at currys mate.

    Finally you will need to get it mapped up, try your local bookshop for an AA Atlas and keep this on top of your ECU.

    Sorry ive just woke up otherwise i would have given better bollox. If you want any more advice then inbox me.

    enough of the crap!! rite its pointless turboing a vtr but why not if your gunna keep it a while and you secure with you paying out more insurance then this i what you would need!!

    35psi turbo which can fit a 2.5inch inlet and a 2.5 outlet!

    intercooler with piping

    turbo timing sensor

    turbo management adjuster

    turbo psi gauge

    and a hell load of wires!!

    you mite have to whip out the angle grinder on the lovely vtr but why not if you ok doing it your self then go for it should cost roughly £1000-£2000 for everything
    if not take it to a specialist they will charge you over £3500 for everything!! and in some cases they will take short cuts eg: not pre adjust the turbo to only let out up to 8psi!! on a 1.6 anymore than 10 you will blow the S@$& out of your manifold!! my advise do it your self

    35psi turbo which can fit a 2.5inch inlet and a 2.5 outlet! why does it need to be 2.5? and why a "35 psi turbo"

    intercooler with piping

    turbo timing sensor which is?

    turbo management adjuster again which is?

    turbo psi gauge

    and a hell load of wires!! im converting my vtr to turbo, wont be adding any wires tbh

    ^^^^^ just lol @ the above "pre adjust the turbo" do they all come with adjustable actuator's?
    and can you run more boost on engines bigger then 1.6 like? why is the 1.6 so special? "blow the manifold?"


    oh and why is it pointless turbo'ing a vtr?

    tbh mate, your post is more crap than any of the others in this thread. At least it was obvious we were taking the piss, yours could fool a mongo at least. Hope there aint any mongos on here that read your bollox and i hope you were playing along with everything and you dont belive in what you just typed.
