    ph1 2.0 convert to turbo?

    Hi all has anyone converted a 5cyl 2.0 ph1 to 2.0 turbo? i know it would be more cost effective to buy a T5 but was just wondering! My next question is how easy is it when my 2.0 lets go to put a T5 engine in?

    The only thing i know is that the compression on the N/A engine is higher so that would need altering.
