if you can be bothered yes... good luck insuring it tho, and wave goodbye to any good handling.

yes you can do it, no you shouldn't do it.
How do you know the guy doesn't have the skills and the cash to do this? just because other people have not been very succesfull doesn't mean he wont be.
Sure it might screw the handling but he might be prepared to compromise for that for the extra straight line speed and you certainly can screw a lot of power from an UT engine.
And yes there may be better options on engine choice and it could just be another blind "can i" thread but it would be nice to see another mad build

agreed, however in this case the facts are: posted first, custard replied with link to faq, he then posted again not even giving custards link a look

yep im going to do it put an uno turbo in me cinq :devil:
Looking forward to that one
Depends what facilities you have I guess, I have saved a lot so far by working in an engineering shop. Still spent a little so far like, but when you start thinking about fuelling, mapping, LC-1 etc. the outlays start to rise with great rapidity!

Have you kept a tally so far of the cash you've spent out?
So far i've spent about £500 but i'm still to pay for MS and relay board, LC-1, Oil cooler, sandwich plate and piping, stilo 1.4 16v clutch and flywheel, gt brakes, bigger wheels to fit them under, head gasket set for the engine, various gauges
and probably heaps more stuff that i've forgotten, so yea 1k - unlikely!

Brooky hehe yeah i suppose you could be first test driver lol
Turbo manifold, downpipe I can get those done for the cost of metrials.
sump I can get a boss welded on for the oil return for nothing,
then just need to decide which turbo to go for,
oil feed pipe for the turbo,
boost pipes,
intercooler
oilcooler
Thats just the basic low to high boost conversion the expensive part is whether you go for standalone management, piggyback or mf2. I am going to be going for the mf2 and sigcon route myself because the cost is low and is proven to work well will low boost setups.
There is more to add to the above list I will do that in my own thread later
