cheaper as the low boost kits fit onto a standard engine.also more suited to a FWD application. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

If you want to go the turbo route you are going to have to do a lot of fabrication and get it mapped yourself. Also the straight power curve of the supercharger means you keep grip better than the more exaggerated no power low down and massive power high up. ________________________________________ ex white Phase 1 Gti6, killed at cadwell park in November 07 |

you could , but it comes down to costing the exhaust manifold from dp engineering is around 1500 alone you then need intercooler, injectors blah blah, also mapping. |

The space in our engine bays makes turbocharging a lot more involved than supercharging too. A low boost turbo would still need a lot of cooling too as turbos heat the air up more through conduction. You can set a turbo up to boost exactly like the supercharger conversion and it would probably make a little more power but I really don't believe in aftermarket turbo conversions. They are a ballache. ________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

here is a turboed 306 NOTE the lowered compression! That much torque is not good for our boxes either. ________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

Binka is running a turbo setup that somewhere near 400bhp iirc. Again, unsure of torque, but those are the 2 people you want to be PMing regarding figures.________________________________________ Long live the Sigma 6Team Phase 1 supercharged XBL ID: farmer uk1 |

It could be cheap though if you can do the work yourself. The lot from DP comes to about £3k (a complete guess at VAT and delivery) although this doesn't include plumbing injectors and the intercooler.________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |
