    tbh mate i dont know about any1 else but my willy costs me fookin loads, and adding a turbo aint gona help for making running more relaible and cheaper, probably gona make it even more expensive. and there is also the fact that my williams is quick enough for me already

    I'd consider it on a 16v, but not a Williams.

    I'd still put Williams Suspension on the 16v, tho!

    wouldn't bother, those engines will be running close to det imo, the bottom end is far to weak to hold the compression.

    as bejeesus says - bottom end will be pushed to max.

    steel internals will bump the price up to a silly level.

    forged pistons would be a must imo as well as everything balancing... but waste of money, will ruin the cars driving characteristics

    BB tuning covertion is about 5k anyways. You do get a strengthend and balanced bottom end/forged pistons ect.

    but ask yourself this question......are they really quick enough for the outlay??


    i think not IMO....theres easier, cheaper and more reliable ways of extracting pure power

    I think they are too expensive for what they are....for the price of a turbo conversion you could buy a faster car!
