welshpug 1,677 Posted November 5, 2007 the prices are on the website you need to add a suitable engine management, which DP can sort out as well if you wish. also depending on what power levels you're aiming for you'll more than likely need new pistons, though the gti6oc lot have managed to get 220+ from supercharged standard engines, so a similar figure wouldn't be out of the reach of a turbo'd engine.

dean 0 Posted November 6, 2007 yer i have looked on the web site at the kit which you get a turbo,manifold,down pipe,oil return pipe and then i priced up a set of pistons but didnt no what else i would really need apart from intercooler and induction pipe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest if you can afford to buy the whole DP kit then I guess that decent management and mapping would be within your budget aswell. Though I would probably add at least £1k on top of the DP kit for mapping and ecu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cybernck 403 1 Cars Posted November 8, 2007 don't forget that it would be VERY advisable to uprate your brakes and also maybe suspension and tyres, so you'll have to budget for this too. in fact, first figure out what's your maximum budget and then work out what can you actually do on the car with that amount of money...
