Turbo,intercooler,ecu..etc...never worth it mate...have you looked into getting a remap on what you've got already?

 

Nah never looked into getting it remapped as not sure how much extra power it would give me?

 

be cheaper buying a turbo corsa.

the 1.4t can be remapped quite comfortably to 150bhp

 

I agree with Joeboy. In any case if you go down the DIY turbo route your car will need uprated brakes. Even the lowly 1.4T has disks on the rear and they smaller diameter than those fitted to the 150bhp versions. I very much doubt Vauxhall will do the work even if you ask nicely and hold your wallet wide open!!

 

Thanks for your advice guys. Appreciate the responses! Will just leave it as it is 😁

 

You can't just put a turbo on an engine that wasn't designed for it. Not without a lot of work and expense.

Did you buy the car brand new and have you actually spoken to where you got the car from? If they have some 1.4 Turbos in stock they will be able to go through some figures and see what they can do with your current finance. Yeah, it's going to cost you, but it might not be as bad as you think. Especially if your not bothered about going for a car that's a little olde to help offset some of the depreciation hit.

You can get 100-110bhp out of the 1.4NA engine with a panel filter, exhaust modifications and a custom remap. But that's really it and anything else is going to be mega money.

The 1.4 Turbo engines remap to about 160-170bhp with no other mods, so it's a nice increase in power.
