does anyone know what you need to do to take a 2.0 pro5 and make it a turbo? i was thinking all you need is the basic stuff (headers, intercooler, turbo, etc.) from a msp, but are the engine internals different (pistons etc.)?

 

You have a lot of options for doing a turbo. There are several kits on the market, which do not require upgraded internals due to modest (but effective) boost. To name a few,
- Hiboost
- Wagner
Also, there are other ways to do a boosted car. If you do a search on this forum, you'll find info on everything needed for a nice homegrown turbo kit. And, there are a couple of ambitious folks on our forum who have built their own superchargers (one guy did a 2.0L P5, and another did a 1.6L).

 

wow, sweet. thanks for the info. now to compare and see if an engine swap with an msp would be cheaper than 4 grand for a turbo kit. that hiboost kit is so calling me though

 

WOMP to you!!!!

 

I've not seen a HiBoost kit sell for $4K in almost 2 years!! I think they are about $3600+shipping now.

 

Modern Performance, Hiboost, Wagner and Mental Addiction are the way to go.



good luck

 

The HiBoost Kit is 4Grand installed!

 

lol MSP engine swap...first good luck finding one...second it is simply a stock 2.0L with a VERY poorly designed turbo system by Calloway Cars...just look for a turbo kit
