i would go 4 a 2.0 turbo but i cant afford the ins (not jut yet)

how much it cost 2 ins them??

Twin 40's on the 1.6 - Cost effective as you already have most of the parts.
I'd not go for a 1.6 turbo as they aren't a common conversion and therefor you have to used specalist parts (normally expensive).

Go for the 1.6 on 40's with a nice head a cam and you'll be laughing.

If you decide on the turbo I'd go for the normal 2.0 16v Turbo as lots of people have done it and finding help/parts shouldn't be as hard as the 1.6 Turbo. As Jules says its not commonplace and would be much harder to maintain/sort out if anything goes wrong. Obviously if exclusitivity is what you want you can't go worng with something like the 1.6 Turbo. Catch 22 really.

stick with the 1300 untill you can afford a LET. that's what you say you really want so save for it

I'd either tune the 1.3, or build a nice spec 1.6 and fit that!

A tune'd 1.3/1.4 can be very rapid (proven recently by benji), and the best bit is beatin something much bigger, then telling them its only a lil 1.3 :lol:

i think you should go for the 1.6 turbo or try for a LET, cus then you can sell me your T40's :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

personally ive had the 1.3, 1.4,1.6 all on 40's before i went down the turbo route and i wish i'd have done it sooner and saved myself so much money and hassle! Go with the 1.6 turbo you know it makes sense!

sorry ment 2 add 2 last post.

i have decided 2 take out the 1.3sr engine and put a 1.4 in (as its cheap never used still on a pallet and the 1.3 is on its last legs) put the twin 40s on piper cam etc etc, save some money and put a 1.6 turbo in (fully re-built, new parts etc). were would b a gd place 2 do the conversion done?? and a rough cost

wot do u think gd idea or not??
