The SURBO thing

Postby Swindon_Matt18-Fezzy on Thu May 02, 2002 10:21 pm

Has anyone heard about this SURBO, fake turbo kinda thing? If not, check out: http://www.surbo.co.uk.

Ive got a mk3 fiesta, 1.1 hcs carb engine. Its a 1990.

Does anyone know about fitting a SURBO to this car? Will it make much difference?!

Cheers,

Matt

This sounds exactly the same as the TurboZet and that actualy decreased performance because it restricted the amount of air flowing.

Forget it.

Waste of money.
