Hi people, i have decided i want to turbo the gte hence i'm after 1.6 turbo converted engine. I'm not in the technical know hence im after something thats ready to plug in and play.

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. alternatively if anyone on here can quote me on taking on the job of doing the conversion from scatch, can supply engine in pic as donor.

There's a guide in the articles section of how to do it.

You'll be very lucky to get hold of one tbh.

Sort out the manifild & turbo. The rest is off the shelf or easy enough to do. Maybe the decomp plate is custom too.
I hope this doesnt turn into yet another guide or long winded debate about what is a bodge & wether it's worth doing.
If you use the search its been discussed umpteen times.

For the record I had one & have a 1.6XE turbo in my (garden) shed.

Yeah had a look, the way it was writen was more like a put off, 2yrs and still not finshed and all that, it was like u might be going to war, not knowing if u'll come back. lol

I think i'll wait and see if a 1.6t comes up, or even a LET later on depending on things. Not in no real rush so can wait
