Turbo FTO GX
Hey guys, im new to the world of FWD. i currently bought a manual '97 FTO GX (i heard it was easier to turbo a GX) and i want to increase its power and what better way then to turbo is it possible to turbo a GX with a budget of 2000 (less i have to pay the better) im currently in perth. I dont want to keep hunting for parts, so is there some kind of workshop here that will do it for me straight up or do i have to supply the parts? (if i do where do i get them from?) i just want an idea on price, time of road or anything else that will help me on this mission thanks in advance >.<

Re: Turbo FTO GX
damn guess turbo was never meant to be. wow it even sounds complicated. well is there any way to increase its power (mainly acceleration) maybe enough to beat a Golf TSi
naa its a GX (facelift version of the GR)

Re: Turbo FTO GX
Wrong link ben lol.
Try this one
viewtopic.php?f=22&t=14120
@ agreenfto, mate yes it is easily doable but not for 2k, I think if you used all second hand parts you could do it 5K, oh that is if you do ALL the work yourself.
sh*t, if there were enough people wanting to do it. I would pull mine apart a fab up a kit but I need atleast 3 people and they would have to pay a deposit before I would even consider it.

Think you better check no.2 hereif we want a buldge

But in answer to your question. Not neccessarly, im only running 5pound. 8psi could have been done at the same price and that would definitly give you a bulge (note spelling for future reference) bahahahaha
