Basically you'll need to rework the drive train and do a ton of body and undercarriage bracing. Boo coo $$$$!
well see i guess. cant say much without actually doing it of course. Turboed a leganza and it handled 10psi fine, just needed a tranny brace. but i guess if you want to compare apples to hockeypucks...
but a leganza doesnt have a 1.6 l engine either.
If it was me i would release those polyurethane mounts before the turbo kit, its quite amazing how much that little engine moves under the hood, that would help it alot!
no kidding...I put the hood up and started the motor, it does shake a lot. Then **** into gear and it moves again. Can't wait for the poly motor and trans mounts.Quote:
