big turbo?

[SEATCOOBER]

my beeza has done 70 thousand miles now and am thinkin of going big turbo, what are the thoughts on this puttin strain on my old engine

I went BT at 80,000 miles, granted it only lasted a short while mind but that wasn't down to the enging IMO. I'd say go for it, or if your worried about your engine do rods, pistons and valves before BT.

But don't expect BT to be cheap theres a lot of running costs involved. You'll also want the best brakes, suspension, filters, intercoolers, etc...

my ihi is on 80,000 miles or so , still runs sweet as a nut , id say go for it , 70,000 isnt exactly high for a 1.8t engine

Do a compression test first as well.
