With regards to what? i.e. power, ease of fitting, reliability? Not a turbo person but those lumps kick out a fair bit of power already for a standard 360 (only a ton weight), also how much money are you playing with as that dictates a lot of the possibilities. I'd consider checking all the bits needed to fit it into the car are there first. Then I might think about the cars handling before powerz as although I love my 360 for rallying, the back can be wallowy due to a terrible rear sus design.

Just a few points to consider

Cheers

Jason

I imagine someone with some definitive answers will be along shortly, but I think you need the sump from your 360 along with oil pump and assorted bits. I'm not sure if there are any clearance issues with turbo piping etc but others on here will be able to straighten that out. Turbobricks would also be a good place to read up on power tuning 940 turbos. Out of interest how were you thinking of fuelling it?

Some turbo / manifold combos do have clearace issues. This can be resolved by making a new bracket and using the turbo engine mount on the turbo side.
