sheesh £12000! wasnt that 350z only 13?! still a 375bhp 206 has to be very dangerous indeed!! infact, that is very scary to imagine a 206 runnin at 375break! scary but amazing!!

For that price you would expect a full engine rebuild, pistons, rods, maybe crank, headgasket, possibly valves, cams, ECU, manifolds, exhaust, intercooler and fitting.

TBH I can think of other cars to buy for that money though......

I would rather buy a computer, 28" tv xbox and still have a couple of hundred quid left over for other smaller mods, but thats just me.

I think you should think about investing in another car, something with tons of respect to its name.

Thanks civic boy but I wasnt considering the turbo just giving information! Its nice to know what you want for christmas though, maybe somebody will oblige!
Posted By: Cali_16v Re: 206 GTI 180 Turbo - 24th Nov 2004 2:00pm
cant you buy the parts yourself and make a turbo for your car yourself with a smaller power hike.

Just a thought
Posted By: Scooby Re: 206 GTI 180 Turbo - 24th Nov 2004 2:14pm
Yeah, you can buy a "Bolt On" Turbo but would have to manufacture the pipework and fittings yourself smack Also you could only run a maximum of approx 7 p.s.i. Boost without altering the engine internals, fuel system and e.c.u. settings smack

Im sure theres a topic on the workings and info on turbo's. This post really was just to highlight the crazy prices some companys charge which not many modders could afford. Anybody else been quoted silly prices for work? No company names included though!

scooby do u know of a weird little "supercharger" device that is just 12v driven compressor blade in a bit of hose which bolts on in the middle of ur intake tract. ive heard it gives u a small power gain when ur foot is on the floor cos the compressor spins up but when at 1/2 throttle etc performance is worsens due to the fact u have a massive static obstruction in ur pipes.Know wot its called n e 1?

Ive heard of those "Electric Turbos" <img border="0" alt="[Roll around the floor laffin]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions065.gif" />
