 |
|
This might be a stupid question. I have a non turbo 1977 924 N/A. Can I not just simply slap a turbo on it and go? with a few scoop(airflow) mods of course....

anything is possible, but if you dont know how to on your own. For the most part without asking how to on here.
Then you cannot do it.

search is your friend... here's a start: http://www.924board.org/viewtopic.php?t=26375&highlight=add+turbo
it can be done, but theres allot morte to it than just slapping a turbo on. if you want any durability, compression will have to be lowered, cooling system improved, ect.. ect..
you can try BAE turbo as a search term as well, that was a fairly successful "kit", even if you could find one, it wont be servicable..but duplicating the layout with modern and improved parts can be done..
However, there is no simple solution.. A supercharger might be a sliighty easier way to go...

hahahaha..i was waiting for that...
adding a turbo
custom manifold
turbo charger

Fuel control
Spark advance and retard control
EFI is best but youre looking from $600 or so up for a basic setup
some way of keeping it all cool
miscellaneious..boost controller, BOV, air filter

Well, i had to ask eh?
Should work on even getting the damn thing to even start right now :S
VW said the ignition needs to be replaced, so they ordered a new one?
Lets hope they can fix it... haha
