Hmm okay I'll try pug one off  , I'm just toying with the idea at the moment but would like to know the difference in price compared to S/C and ITB's, I just don't know what route I'd go down at the minute

Tb's with all the usual mods will cost roughly the same a sc kit or turbo.
Nortech performance in goldthorpe can do turbo conversion.
I had my manifold made by them for £600.

Dont people struggle with the electrics on the 180's though, I seem to remember Jamie trying to either SC or ITB his 180 but no one could wire the ECU up.

Seabook- yeah I was thinking about that :-/, i can't see it being as reliable as a turbo petrol from factory
Lee- I don't dream about things like this I like to do my research and ask for people's opinions, you can't just wake up and go " I'm taking my pug to DP engineering in holland tomorrow and getting it done with no quotes etc and no in depth information about the pros and cons of converting my 180 to turbo" haha that would just be silly
