TURBO OR CARBS

[mcowley]

I was wondering whether people cud give there view on whether to turbo my 1.6 gsi or fit twin carbs?

[Stuart]

carbs, for shear ease over turbo setups

[Philsutton]

carbs are going to be a lot easier to fit

[mcowley]

where wud the best place to get twin carbs fitted? and is the the 1400 inlet manifold the same as the 1600?

[Paul]

Fit them yourslef, quite simple.

And no the 1400 inlet is different to the 1600 inlet...

[benji]

1600 have round ports, as dothe 1400 sri's. the 1400 sr's have square ports

Carbs mate! Simply because if your going to Turbo it has to be done right to get good results.... and that costs money! A lot of it!

Well me and mike have been talking about this loads and i said,go with the carbs,as it cheaper and easy,but saying that he has the money to take it to cortenay to get the turbo done.

And i know who much he would like the turbo,and a nice big intercooler in the bumper and the pitshhhh of the dumpvalve :D

but the carbs are an easy option.
but lets just forget money being a factor,what mike is asking which one would most ppl say go for if they had the chioce for the perfomace..
