metro turbo confussed
Turbo Mini Forums

right if i go out and buy a metro turbo just the turbo and all the stuff it need to run on a 998 can i just bolt it straight on to my little 998 can any one answer it please ??

thanks

im gonna do that this summer, but ill be using a different cylinder head (just to lower the compression).
I think the general concensus is that the std 998 pistons wont be able to take much power, this summer im gonna take one for the team and give it a go.

No you can't.

For a start it will not fit because the bulkhead is in the way.

So you need to get the engine out to weld in a bulkhead box.

Also, you will not be able to use much boost if you have one of the later 998s with a 10:1 compression ratio.

I suggest, as others have, you use the search button and read past threads. There are no quick and easy solutions to turbo charging a mini.

I've been stalking this site for nearly a year now, and I just about feel that I have learnt enough to start buying bits.

Be patient and read.

Posting more or less the same question in multiple threads will not get you more answers, all it will do is pizz off all the people who have already given you advice, namely do some reading of this site and books.
All the answers are out there, but you are going to have to take some initiative yourself, no-one is going to hand them all to you on a plate.

futhermore, why do you want a charged 998? It's harder to get big power, laggyer (if you use a t3) and more expensive to do properly. Unless you are doing it to meet some regs, it's not worth it IMHO.

And as Tom said, read the FAQs. There are around 3 years worth of top posts in there.
