Ek9 turbo

[MANNY]

Hi i have a ek9 just want to know how much would it cost if i wanted the car to be pushing around 300-400bhp?

What would i need?

 

[COZ!!!!]

a turbo.lol

 

[MANNY]

I know I would need a turbo but what is the best one to get?

It ain't just as simple as that i'm afraid - Lots of things to think about. unfortunately i ain't clued up enough to say but someone will be along shortly lol

Yeh mate it ain't simple you really need to look in to it. Dont rush into a job like that because you could really regret it. Blinx is the one to speak to thow, he knows this game well.

THere is a big difference between 300-400 bhp!!!! But ek9turbo and blinx are the ones to talk to!!!

im thinking of doing this also and looking into it in great detail and it would be very expensive to rebuild the engine total for to hand it but i found out that you can get a peekbost kit for 2500 euro and you can run it on standard internals at 7 or 8 psi instead of rebuild the engine and with the peekbost kit you get 300bhp an i think 400 or 500 bhp is ALOT to have with front wheel drive car

just wait for blinx to post with a nice juicy parts list. Good luck

thanks guys sorry i left you all hanging, i was actually avoiding this thread on purpose because i answered this question already a few times for different users and the threads can be seen in the FI forum. But here we go:

You have already established a power goal, now you need to establish a budget before we can tell you what you need. And i think your power goal is a bit too high, 350whp is more than plenty on a street car, once you cross over 400 it cost a good bit more money as your going to want your block sleeved at that point...
