hey, i just wanted some suggestions on what i should do 2 my n/a vl with $4000...turbo engine? turbo conversion? buy a vl turbo? is $4000 enough to make ma vl into a VLT?

yeh mate 3000 for a full turbo conversion from the guyz at MSC PERFORMANCE, called them up a few weeks back for a friend and thats what i got quoted.....they have got some very tuff cars coming out of that workshop

depends in wat condition your car is in.......if the body is free of rust and so forth......u could pick up a stock vlt moter and boxfor that kinda money and slide it in for 4 grand......but u could also sell your vl and add that to the 4 grand and buy a nice vlt

Use stock VLT computer, manifold, turbo and injectors, add 500hp intank pump for about $200, full 3" exhaust and $250 ebay cooler with pipes and you could scape in under 4g, oh, and a Cometic 3mm 3 layer meatal head gasket, like a decompression plate except far better quality and won't crap itself. They are about $270. All this would give you more power than a turbo engine and more driveability with the higher compression and front mount. 6BOOST

My mate is in the exact position as you and he has basically all the parts he needs and he has only spent about $2500. He just searched this forum for the conversion parts needed

if i get a vl turbo motor, how will i know if its good condition...is there any ways of telling if its no good?.....its prob not worth converting mine motor cos its done 300,000kz

If I was you id do what 6boost said and go the N/a Conversion Route.. do the decomp,vlt computer, cooler, exhaust, buy a t03 hiflow and vlt exhaust manifold etc then later on when u have the money slowly upgrade things.. like get a better bottem end build, aftermarket ecu and injectors etc.. thats if your current engine is in Good Condition and i supose the car itself.... If not search around for a low k's vlt motor complete and compression test it.. Search the Forums for more info. Rob

thanks guyz
