It would do nothing, as you would need a custom exhaust manifold to attach the turbo to so it could work. Even if you had the manifold chances are it would blow up within a week as none of the standard engine components are designed for a turbo, I mean look at all the problems the Cinq owners still have after spending hundreds, sometimes thousands on uprating bits on their engines...

I suggest you go to www.howstuffworks.com and read the following articles:

How Engines Work
How Turbochargers Work
How Superchargers Work
How Horsepower Works
What is the difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger on my car's engine?

So you have a very basic understanding of how engines actually work and why you can't just "stick a turbo" on it

hey

thanks for that ok then fair enough i av actually read that already but i thought maybe it would work with out blowing up lol
 
ok so wat im gona do then is just clean it all up and maybe it will run a lil smoother and btw the lil chips dont actually work do they.. you no the ones that say 20bhp+ lol they dont actually work right?

so basically if i wana make my car faster .. well i cant right? lol all i av to do is drive down hill lol

i will put the filter further down in the cold air suply and maybe that might add something lol

btw quick questions if i had a big fan blowing cold air towards my air filter... would it do anything? lol i no its stupid but just woundering lol

thanks

Engines can be made to run on a variety of things, petrol, diesel, biethanol, etc etc.

Unfortunately hope isn't one of those things :)

And no, those chips (resistors) are crap and do more damage than good

Just to re-iterate (for the millionth time):

There is no cheap way to significantly increase the power on a 1.2 8v FIRE engine

Yey you got it! :D (y). My post worked :cool:.

Yeah keep it to styling until you got some NCB and some more money for a faster car (y). If I were you I'd just relocate your Green Filter to a better possition with some silicone pipe. Or ditch it all together and get a 'Focus' Induction kit of ebay for £40 which does give a decentish gain according to 'Anfield' on the forum.

you are, a complete tool! sorry ot be nasty, but nothing from what ive read seems to sink in with you. also i swear i read ana rticle about exterior neons being an MOT failure aswell. i know the oil breather to atmosphereic pressure is a defo failure nowdays.

depends on the tester, my previous car passed 2 mots with the cam cover breathers(yes, the pair of them) vented to atmosphere.

infact, the last mot didnt even involve my bonnet getting opened.

yep nothing but white and amber liht is allowed from the fromt of your car, amber being for indicators and only red brake lights white reverse light and ambr adain for indicators, any other colour will get you pulld generally or will aso pass a am MOT fail unless you have a switch, anything is allowed off road.

i have white LED washer jets and they are completely legal as they are white.
