Would that create enough power to spin the turb? or even pull the skin off rice pudding? create a wind!

pimsle......prob true though.

no point in spend all that moey on a 1.1 turbo.....
would just be the biggest waste of money.

save the cash an buy a 1.6 xr2i or FRST or 2.0 conversion.

if i am correct the Turbo that Van Aaken do is for the 1.6 Zetec engine where you can just slot it in and not mess around with any internals.

Pretty sure they do one for the HCS engine too - I've seen the pics of their kits. Give them a call as they prolly speak better English than the rest of us here :D

Btw, if you can pull away in 4th it's a fair bet that your clutch is dead, and you'll definitely need to change that for a turbo conversion, which then begs the question "while the engine/gearbox is out, why not drop something larger in instead"??? :D
