Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Converting a Mk2 N/a to a Turbo

Well its now come to light that he wants something to go sideways in.. so I have told him an MR2 is not ideal for that, unless you are sh*t hot at it!!

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Converting a Mk2 N/a to a Turbo

So essentially unless you've got a crazily mint N/a to start with or are particulary attached to it for whatever reason it would be crazy to do it!

I'm gonna suggest it sells it and buys a tubby, or V6 it :)

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Converting a Mk2 N/a to a Turbo

Yep.. I'd agree, save yourself a lot of hassle!!

I'm assuming he's got himself a very very cheap N/a which is the reason he's asking about it.

Just wanted a rough idea of total cost of parts and labour costs.

[Mk2] [Generic] Converting a Mk2 N/a to a Turbo

Got a mate of mine asking about this... I'd just sell the N/a and buy a turbo tbh :lol:

Can anyone tell me approx whats involved and the rough cost? Nothing too detailed just a rough outline!

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] wow love his conversion kit!

Those last few pics look awesome!!

I liked my low rise lights though :thumleft:

I'm not a fan of the ones that look similar to that that don't have the covers over them, but those look really good :D

had the same problem. very rare for water pumps to leak, from experience they tend to fail rather than leak.


Not true.. mine leaked!! Grrrr!!
