turbo it, keep the boost to 10psi or lower, fit a pyro gauge so you can monitor temps safely...Jocelyn wrote:it's got about 381,235.

And never look back.
It s relatively cheap for a second hand set up. the difference is significant - without a doubt the best mod that can be done on a 2.8
by the way did i mention DO IT!

Re: Turbo? no Turbo?
do the service first.. If you have no dosh for a service, why even think about a turbo? unless of course it's ridiculously cheap and in good condition...
Re: Turbo? no Turbo?
A turbo will work, even with a few kays on it.
But you will adjust to the performance increase very quickly. Even with a turbo, they are a poor performer compared to everything else on the road.

Re: Turbo? no Turbo?
