tried doing a search in this but i keep getting a link to different articles and stuff. anyway i'm considering just dropping a turbo motor into my n/a and wondering who's the best to tackle this. just need the motor plus install and maybe some tuning. i have everything else (maybe need a downpipe)necessary. thanks for the space.

N/A and turbo engines are the same thing pretty much. Compression is higher in the N/A otherwise its close to same. I know few guys running a N/A engine in AWD TSI Talons and they run fine. Cant boost it as high as a turbo engine but who cares. If it pops get a turbo engine. BTW www.metalexmotorworx.com did my N/A car swap to turbo 4g63t and its a 400 or So HP car

Chris, I am up for it. I thought your car might have a knock sensor already, nevermind. find the parts fast, I have only less than a month to screw around. once the school starts I am off the scene! (fracking 3rd year is no joke ) Josh, you have to do your homework yet.

i picked up a downpipe from a talon. so if it doesn't fit i'll get him to cut off whatever or add on what needs to be done. got a resistor pack. i guess i should be good to go. just need an ecu.

Guys, I would come out and help out any DSMer with there project but I'm in the mists of building a garage and all my weekends are all booked up from now till the end of time. :rolleyes: . Count on your car being down a few days because it doesn't matter how much preperatition your do there is always some part that is missing or something else that just dosen't go your way. Good Luck.
P.S. Amin you can come by this weekend and pick up the engine stand if you want.
