hello,
i am thinking about turbo-ing![]()
my vk and just wanted to know what i'll need and how much it will/could cost? Would it be a back yard job?
cheers, Pat![]()
To be my usual anti 202, Dont waste your time.
But if you really must throw good money away.
T03 off a VL would give you 6-7 PSI, less boost look at a hairdryer off a 4 pot.
You will need a custom exhaust manifold, oil lines, a oil cooler would be an idea, rebuild the engine, fully balence the bottom end,and toughen up the Gearbox & diff.
Cost wise I would say timeconsuming an expensive, You might as well do a turbo RB conversion.
cheers
Scott
