[raviedavie]

Hello all ive just bought a willy 3 as a project with a view to fully restoring her but id like to get some more power under the bonnet. im after advise really as im not sure what exactly to do. so i can go turbo or ITB but ideally i want a full monster engine with everthing as good as it can be. Any advise will be extremely appreciated :D

my advice try and drive both ..itb and turbo then chose

or forget both above. and charge it

hadnt even thought about supercharging tbh. As i said im new to all this , had a valver quite a few years ago and loved it so when the willy came up i thought why not !!!

Have a chat with stan (APD) & Dan@gdi they're the experts with the knowledge and the prices

If i had 1.5k to spend I'd just supercharge it with a rotrex. You can keep standard ecu etc. that price is just for the kit and you'd have to do everything yourself obviously.

but wouldnt the engine struggle as its got 104k on the clock ? i was assuming i would need to do some strenghtening on the engine etc ??
