    Selling My Vtr, Any With The Money Was Thinkin Of Buying A Mk1 But Dont Want To Now, How Easy And Cheap Is It To Fit A Turbo, Few Of My Mates Are Real Good Mechanics, How Cheap And Easy Would It Be To Fit To Rallye Or Something Like That, Got To Keep Under Insurance Group 7 As Insurance Get To Expensive. I Want A Newish Car No Older Than 1999 And Was Just Wondering If Turbos Are Easy To Fit And Buy, Or Are They A Couple Of Thousand Pound Jobs!!

    lol turbo kits alone, are about £2,500 and will need to be setup properly (dyno'd) you can do most of the work yourself, if you know what your doing! but its not a piece of piss to do by any means, the more you do yourself, the less you will have to pay for labour charges, to have it setup!

    do you have a time period?

    as if not you could always buy a spare engine and build that up with turbo/ancillaries over a period that wont hert the finances. that way you get more time to search and keep an eye out for bargain pieces.
