Ok long story short,when living in holland met a guy from south africa,he had a D plate GT with a turbo conversion,using the supercharger block,this thing did 12 sec 1/4 miles,he now has MR2 with same,I am now building GT turbo here in Lincoln so if anyone fancies it doing or wants info let me now....

i also want to turbo charge a corolla ae82 wats the process were do i start

First you need about 1k either get a supercharger engine appx £400 remove the supercharger etc,you now have the lump,then fit turbo manifold appx £150,then get a turbo poss T3 or T34 etc from ebay or ??? appx 150 then all you need is a mappable Ecu Appx £150 then fit it in your car,hey presto 200+bhp no probs....Ok thats not tottaly it you need intercooler,pipes etc but thats the easy bits,they just come together once the engine is in,you can use a 1.8 carina engine bottom end and a corrola head to make a low compression 1.8 turbo,thats what I am buliding.....watch this space.....

so wat is the story so far have you complited the turbo conversion?

if so pls post some pics,

thanx
