I thought 2gnt people got over this phase, the not searching phase, or not searching enough phase. There are more than enough topics about adding a turbo to your 420a. There are posts all the way from people using t25 to people using something as big as a 40r.

If you can't find anything in this knowledge database then you might have to reconsider adding a turbo to your car.

Search again.

Yep :P

There was a period of time when people stopped asking questions like this. In the past weeks it seems like it people are asking these type of questions again.

It's not hard to search, fix your grammar. Tell us numbers you want just not you want more hp cause you got a built engine. Too broad.

So you think replacing components with newer, OE spec components and a couple aftermarket parts gets you to 200 hp huh? The only modification you did was install some cams that apparently only make a difference in idle and nowhere else in the powerband, p&p, and a small bump in compression. That is not going to get you anywhere near 200 hp.

Please share with us what beefier rings are.

And what does i want a i feel i want to touch 300 hp mean? That is not English.

The simple fact that you consider your engine built leads me to believe that you don't know what you are talking about or what you're getting yourself into. So I will just sit back and see your engine go boom. I will be looking forward to that thread.

I know I`m Polish, but the best way to turbo a car to me would be to get a turbo... lol... I posted a similar thread and I got more than enough insight on reliably boosting my car... Plus, yes, spending some time browsing and searching the forums will get you a ton of info... Just glad I had enough time away from getting called in to my job to browse.. :P
