turbo charging

[flak monkey]

Nah....what you want is a supercharger

Much more fun in a light car, and oodles of low down torque from the off....

Turbos have their place, but I dont think they are suited to lightweight cars...

But then again I am biased.

I'll second Rays comment. Looking great there FM

Boy this thread has started plenty of debate !!??

Just before Christmas I was taken for a serious spin in my eldests 360BHP & near equal torque Impreza.

To be honest with you folks..... It frightened the hell out of me & my ass has only now started to close again

To say that it was mentally insane would be a gross understatement !!

Personally, if thats Turbo power for you then no thank you.

I want to feel the thrill ......not be sitting in it !!??

Remove two of the four wheels that are driven and see what happens.
Off into the boonies at great speed.
I repair TT's S3's RS4/6's Porsche's etc and they are great fun to drive (legally ) and some are turbo'd and they can be driven off silly amounts of boost with variable vane technology but they weigh as much as a small bus,put large amounts of power into a 6/700kg car and you have the big brother of Frankenstiens monster,great for the track but if you want to spend your time in a field or ditch buy a tractor,you will spoil not only hours of hard work but also a fantastic sports car you have built.

Just my humble opinion.
