   If I wanted to turbo my 8v saxo vtr, what parts would be best to get and how much would it roughly cost? I have about 1k in the bank, can someone give me a list of parts to get, any tips/tricks etc.. Thanks.

    Because I'm going 16v this week mate and can't afford to Turbo a 16v with how expensive the turbo manifolds are for them!:0
    So picking up an 8v engine, building that up over the next 6 months or so and whack into a cheap shell
    Just as a project etc
