been thinking about turboing the 1600 ive got a headache from looking for a new engine so i'm considering it! is it very expensive to do ? how much power increase do you gain? also why hasnt someone done a write up on this under tech already ?

Is it very expensive depends on who does the work mine cost me about $300 all up in parts and I did the rest myself some parts were also free. If you pay someone else $1000 easy I spose.
I had a huge power gain on 7psi and tuned it myself so with more boost and a pro tuneing it you will get more.
Why has'nt anyone done a write up well I could, never thought about it actually.
