[How-to] turbo your car

[Paul_os]

Great info here!
What's the best gearbox to go with? Planning to go turbo and my 6speed gearbox just gave up... wondering if I should stick with another one of them or go for a 5speed?

6 speed is supposedly stronger, but 5 speeds are cheaper, and i have yet to break mine

I take it it's really the same setup for 1.8 ?

Well it's similar, but the exhaust manifold has different port spacing, so would be different, the throttle body is bigger and angled differently, so boost piping would be slightly different. But yeah a turbo conversion would be about the same amount of work and money, roughly.

Thanks Nico great guide yea I knew the manifold and few other bits would be different, I will make up a log style manifold to keep cost down. Thanks this is a great guide well done
