DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW I CAN MAKE THIS CONVERSION?
I CAN GET SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF SAAB INTERCOOLER, PIPES ARE NOT A PROBLEM-EXEPT KNOWING WHERE TO PLUMB IN

ENGINE IS A STANDARD GTE 1.6 WITH LESS THAT 45K ON THE CLOCK-GENUINE! I HAVE A K+N

the cheapest way would be to mount the intercooler in your front bumper and buy one of these off e-bay.

I wonder if it's possible to run a thread on turbos without getting any cynical replies :?

doubt it. who wants a turbo anyway. you need to produce 25 pecent more power from a turboed engine to beat a na engine
