i don't mean reliability; but more of poor craftmanship

Author: Indigo_GTI, Location: AberdeenshirePosted: Thu Jul 26, 2012 3:14 pm ---- i've had experience of a turbo 206, a f**king ballache. been to major tuning companies and it still aint right. just bought me an sti as i've lost patience. if you want a car to sit on the drive and look pretty, turbo it, else better get a factory spec motor

In all honesty you'd be better off getting a standard turbo engine so it's all oem and (built as standard) say a 207gti?? Then do little bits to it. I also think that would be cheaper thank a £8k+ custom build

still got the same power as the 207 GT though
#26: Re: Gti 180 turbo conversion, who does them ?? Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Thu Jul 26, 2012 4:24 pm ---- It has indeed, but I do think the newer 207 engine would look tiddyer in the 180 bay.
I wander if that has actually been done yet? I haven't heard of any one using the 207lump in conversions?
Maybe it's expensive to buy any way.

that was a joke really
interface is totally different, so probably need aftermarket ecu to run; just cost too much.
Not sure if 207gti is expensive though; just have a quick look on ebay, around 5K you can get one already
