Toledo 1.8 20V for a Turbo Kit.

[xnox202]

Is there anyway I could install a turbo kit to my current Natural-arsepirated engine power plant? I'm looking for more power out of my 20V engine. I'm about to do a straight-piping exhaust mod, and the only performance mod so far is the Cold Air Intake kit. Is it possible to add one?

Also, how hard is taking a 20VT engine and swap?

I have the same question. Anyone?

why waste money when you can buy the real toledo sport with a 1.8 20vt engine for peanuts.
i asked the same question 3 years ago but ended up buying the real thing.

I am looking into doing the same thing myself. The 20vt toledo is rare and only available in the newer models which I cant afford so unfortunately its not really an option.

You can get a half decent engine for 7/800 and half of my interest is in actually doing the transplant rather than having it.

this is what i found.
now think again before you build your FRANKINSTEIN.

Are you mad ?

Where can you buy a 1.8 20VT engine and get it fitted for less than £3k ??

If you look about breakers and ebay u can get a good engine with 70Kish on it for £800-1000 with loom, ecu and everything. Then I would fit it myself, hard work but itll be good craic to do.

Saves me having to do the same mods I've done to my car already to a new car again aswell.

Exactly my point. Heck, I never seen anyone done it before. Maybe if there's a better luck, an LCR engine?

We'll see how it goes.

I can only pray!

Why not supercharge it?
