What price a turbo conversion?

[PeteT]

Well I dropped my car off at matts this morning to have the low output kit installed   s:D s:D  

Now cant wait to pick it up all turbo'ed up   s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce:  how slow will time go now   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

ooooh very good, lets us know how it goes. Been out in a turbo mk3 this weekend as a passenger and it is very tempting.

A lot slower than the car will go once you get it back I reckon  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

You are going to love it Brad. I still very fondly remember the drive home when I first got boosted.

Which power level did you go for?

for the money you can't go wrong with a turbo, if money is not option consider a V6 or 2zz as alternatives, i love the 2zz, always leaves me smiling, much more than my turbo did.

But you never quite got your turbo right to be fair.  Jamfe355, the new owner of your kit, has had his car remapped at Redline (according to the SP formula) and it made just shy of 240bhp  s:) s:)

Aww I want one so badly!! Anyone fancy treating me? Belated Xmas gift!?  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Mine was re mapped in the end at Weston Performance by Greg Gush who now owns Protuner, I made 239, just didn't enjoy it as much as when I had my n/a, especially when the pipes started messing up and it meant having to faff around getting replacement parts from TTE. You sorted all these issues so your kit is plug and play, mine was kinda plug and play up to the point of me wasting lots of time and effort with the clueless/useless Thor racing who couldn't get the car right so I ended up losing faith

.....and how long will it take to get you back there to have some high output additions made?? The temptation of more power will break a man....   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  

Either way you are going to love it, all the new sounds alone will bring a smile to your face.

Nice looking car mate, loved the wheels and spoiler - it was me who pulled up with my TTE for a quick service just as you were leaving. Matt will do a sterling job on your car and it will blow you away when you get it back.

Anyone else contemplating a kit from Matt, DO IT. Ive got 30,000mls on my kit now including a few track days without issue. Fool proof kit and Matt is always there to service and maintain the car for you.

Let us know how you get on when you get the car back, the first time you take it out and accellerate the car will litterally hurl you down the road, great feeling!!!   s:D s:D

thanks mate, i'm really looking forward to that first drive bet it really sticks in your mind   s:D s:D

[Chris]

Good lad Brad, you won't regret it!

I'll have to get to an essex meet at some point when you get it back to remind myself what i'm missing...   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

[Terry]

Sorry I'm new, is Matt still doing these kits and where is he located thanks

[shnazzle]

He is not. You'd be very lucky to find a kit come up for sale 2nd hand. And you'd be even luckier to convince Matt to fit it  s:) s:)  

Whifbitz or custom seems to be the way forward at the minute

[Ardent]

Terry
As above, better to by the whole car rather than trying to source a second hand kit.

[shnazzle]

Also Terry, it might be worth having a go in someone's turbo first as it's an entirely different experience. There's even people who have had turbos and gone to 2zz or v6 conversions afterwards and enjoyed it more.

[brettfield999]

Nothing to do with me but as luck would have it there is a Silver turbo converted FL model on eBay for five bags

[StuC]

That is one understated 2! Looks very tidy.

I think its the colour   s;) s;)

Obvs I can't agree to that

Wise words! Turbos can be a lot of fun, but may not suit everyone. I am quite enjoying N/A 1zz motoring again, and really like the sounds. Just got to get My Apexi PFC fixed and smooth it all out a bit!  s;) s;)

You've just jogged my memory Nige will dig out my instruction booklet and scan a copy over !

Thanks Bernie!  s:) s:)

Whifbitz has removed their kit from their webshop now as well
