25 year old former Tow Car of the year mate.
Think anyone producing off the shelf turbo kits would be bankrupt very quickly.

Not to mention it's a complete waste of money.
Mines more a toe car than a tow car these days.

Ah. There are cams floating about. Can fit twin 40's/45's etc. Unsure on off the shel uprated exhaust manifolds.
It's why most just swap to 16v power. No poin t throwing loads of money at the old 8 valver when easy power is readily available and is cheap cheap!
The wiring isn't much at all. Even less if you bin the injection.

thats what stopped me goin vts with the saxo ( the vts is the 1.6 16v) and stuck with the 1.4 8v, i havnt got the space or time to do a conversion
if the 1.7 is enough to have a play and i can build onto it that would be perfect, also want an exhaust i hate driving quite cars, never had the radio on since owning the saxo
