To turbo or not to turbo that is the question

dacons · Jun 2, 2006

Hi I am thinking of getting a turbo kit from autodelta for my 2.0 TS 147 but unfortunatly I am a bit of a novice when it comes to engines and dont understand all the terms for instance on the description the mod is described as phase 3 does this mean I need to do other mods first before I can get a turbo and the acompanying remap and there is 2 kits which do I want.
I have gone over most of the posts on this but they dont answer my questions so any advice would be appreciated.

At a guess I'd think phase 3 simply means it's the third level of bhp they offer....but I don't know their products.

To be honest, I wouldl sit down with Jano at Autodelta and discuss what you want to get out of the mods. You're going to spend a decent amount of money, so don't be shy, make sure you get the package that suits you

Yeah that maybe the answer I just wanted to go in there with a bit of knowledge so that I dont sound like an idiot that just wants to go fast I keep asking my mate who has a mk 3 golf that has about 230 Bhp but he is starting to get fed up and I think a bit worried that he wont be able to so easily leave me for dust. Its gonna be a while before I can raise that sort of cash so I have time .

Thanx

Just remember, whenever you get more power, its not long before you want even more.... When I got my RX-7 it felt ridiculously quick with 255BHP; then it started to feel a little pedestrian, got induction, exhaust, remap and its up to 270BHP; thats now starting to feel slow; unfortunately, next step is quite pricy as I'll need a different management system. The point is, once you start modifying cars and get into the mindset, its a slippery slope..... How much would it cost to trade in for a GTA instead, vs the cost of the turbo package? That way you get the brakes and suspension to go with it.

I was under the impression autodelta stopped doin this conversion due to reliability issues.

Maybe you should fit a 16 Valve Fiat coupe engine complete with the gubbings that go with it.

Yeah its all still there and the regularly add new components.
And the car has brembos already fitted by the last owner not sure about the suspension though
