There are many options you have here.

I think you need to be slightly more specific. What would your expected budget be just out of interest?

Few hundred depending on type, make, size, power, boost etc.

I have seen lots of different ones offering higher and lower but wanted one that actually fits or people on here maybe know of makes and models that fit saxos without too many problems fitting.

So 300 to 500 is not enough for a turbo? and where to look on here as am already looking.

no way near enough.
would be lucky to cover the cost of mapping with that money.
try 2-3000 depending on how you want to do it.

Full re map for any tuning done on car I can get done for £150 at most depending on what I want done. Fitting I can do myself as have a garage and have a mechanic if needed if things get to a point I do not know what am doing knowing them for years and is the owner, so can use their garage when ever needed so comes in handy and a chunk of the price removed.

Inter cooling am looking at and the piping and other things needed not found many places yet but still looking around got plenty to go off.

Contacting a guy about this seeing whats what as the price is a fair price but then again no idea on use how old it is or time used or any damage to it..

Got a lot of research to do and look about the place.
Any help advise on where to buy would be helpful

£300 - £500 will buy you *THE TURBO* then there is the following:

Injectors and/or fuel pressure regulator depending on power
Exhaust manifold
Downpipe
Oil feed braided line and union to tap into block
Oil drain to sump
remote oil filter housing and associated pipework
Intercooler
Intercooler pipework
Dump valve
Enging management system
Clutch
...and on and on and on and on and on and on

The yellow pipe looks like its off a Ford RS turbo escort/fiesta!

Problem with some of these "kits" is that you need lots of extra parts!

Looks like nothing for extra fuel or to run the extra fuel!

Some seem like they have gone to a scrappy picked up a random turbo, some pipes, and a manifold and then voila - turbo kit!!

That's what am thinking said it is for his saxo he is selling going to have a good look around befor buying. Noticed a typo the 150 meant to of 1500 all in for programming returning and runs. Might just buy one already done at this rate but the saxo I have has really low mileage and rust free throughout.

When I decided to turbo a saxo and was looking about at turbo kits I noticed most the ones that come up for sale it is the same story - I have a saxo and a turbo kit I never fitted but everything is there and I'm now selling on for cheap.

What that should say is I have got a half assed turbo kit for sale that I've never fitted on to my saxo because it is missing all the bits I need and doesn't work right so have realised this and now I'm trying to sell on to someone else so they can have the same issue.

There is a good couple of turbo threads that give you all the basics you will need and a rough costing. I made up a list of everything I needed and then decided what route to go down. That may change through your build as mine has now going from a 5th injector set up to standalone but there is lots of helpful guides and members on here who have done it before

Thx for the tips and advise. Still little new round here but finding many useful little tips that's so far saved me a few hundred on parts and fitting and other little bits. This forum sure does kick ass when it come to guides and other advise and help
