[Piggy]

Thanks for the link piggy will look when I'm on pc, I like the idea of turboing the 1.5 as I no it's not really a big job seems pretty easy plus I no samass has done it with what I believe some pretty good results. But a d turbo would win hands down for me.

Were did you see the but about 406 gear linkages? also u though the 205 shafts would only fit an early d turbo gearbox? I would like hdi box as think with it weight nothing it will go though the gears quicker reaching a higher top speed

yeah, 1.8 205 diesel shafts.

hdi box is same a dturbo box, just different final drive, so splines match.

you need 406 linkages and 406 gearstick assembly....think was on that link!

I promise I have spent hours looking into the 1.5 turbo idea.....just a mountain of headaches and a bank of money needed.

its doable...but for only 15kg extra...xud9 ftw

I promise, I've done it, and including buying the car, taxing it, moting it, and boosting it, it doesn't owe me more than 600 quid. Sooooooo care to tell me where this mountain of money is needed?

care to tell us how you did it so cheap??!

Custom manifold, downpipe, intake, etc alone I worked out at a few hundred?! A different gearbox with different fly/clutch came to another 100 or so depending on how cheap one could be got

then theres the headache of getting the xud9t bosch pump timed right
and the compression ratio is wrong, so head/gasket needs sorting for that

I assume it has more power than a xud9 wound up? and more reliable?
