hey...
justgot my mitts on a reconned 1.6gsi... gunna trunk it in the nova soon just tinkerin with the idea of turboin the lump before putting it in... seen a few turbo'd 1.6 8v but none of them seem to be running to much power... im looking for about 150bhp at the wheels... what sort of spec am i looking at needing?

thanx :)

probably need fully uprated bottom end, low compression pistons, etc etc etc
then headwork, high torque cam, turbo, etc etc etc

look in the for sales bit of the forum, it will be a few pages back

maybe baxter would know more about this as he started to turbo his 1300, then i believe he was gonna do a 1600 but dumped the idea and went LET lol

As for your question about the GT Turbo charger going on it may do but as i said Baxter will probably know more as that is what he was using on his car
