I always loved my rwd motors 4 x alfa romeo v6 75 mmmmmm but been thinking of getting one of these a 940 Torslander its a lpt and an auto I guess I would need to chip it. I have got a 850 t5 sitting on the drive. Does the turbo fit in and would it need chipping first. Basically I got a t5 for parts what parts are interchangeable, to make it go faster. :) I am also a mechanical idiot and pretty skint, not a good combination.

for a start why not just buy the HPT version with an extra 35 bhp? surely a better place to start from?

Fitting the 850 turbo onto it is a bit of a fiddly job, and not one for those who aren't good at mechanics.

I got one from the t5 so its just wind up the boost sounds cool I was thinking like the inter cooler what about an engine swap bet its a nightmare. Are suspension parts interchangeable. Oh and quick because I`m winning a bid 4 hours to go on an 850 t5 manual .
