not that it would be that great but...
a standard weber dcoe will take 4-5psi
thats from weber so maybe squeeze 6 psi with new seals?

my 1.6 turbo is running on standard 10:1 compression with standard injection and a T3 and it runs 14.2 1/4. that proves you dont need to lower the compression. I've had it running that way for over two years. I previously ran a double headgasket but just decided for a change to c if it would work with out blowing up. Best thing i ever done. All this talk about carbs with turbo's there was a guy back home in belfast and he had a gsi nova with a group A cossie turbo, double gasket and lotus espirit dellortoes . This thing was stupid quick. It used to smoke its 17'' raffino's in 3rd in the dry!

But Dav i've been told yours has been rebuilt a few times just like mine, cause the dam thing keeps blowing up.

i'd love to be able to turbo my little 1.3. Might get to 140bhp that way.
interesting about the carb's from the lotus'. I've know they had turbos' on carb's but waasn't sure how.
It only melts coz i get so greedy with the boost!
is it cheap to do a turbo conversion? is there any where you could got to get a 1400 SR turbo'd?
back in the late seventies, gm did a low compression 1300 astra. if the badge on the back did not have an S on it, the engine was 8.5-1. I would imagine the pistons are still getable, and to be honest, if you were to build a turbo motor, new pistons would be a bl**dy good idea.
