Hi guys, whats best when it comes to insuring a large single turbo car? I'm thinking of upgrading to a single.

 

Do you tell them its an upgrade? conversion? I've tried speaking to my insurance co last night again and had a mare trying to explain it was converted. :-(

I suppose it's got to be a performance upgrade really.

 

The insurance company aren't really interested in the actual mechanics involved, only that it now has a greater bhp output.

 

Just think of it as a "normal" turbo car, and you've just replaced the turbo with a bigger one.

Depends who you're insured with mate. If you said 'Single Turbo Conversion' to Sky Insurance, they'd know what you're talking about straight away. Other insurers may not.

 

It is a serious performance upgrade and you need to mention to predicted additional BHP and cumulative BHP too.

Definately talk to insurance companies that understand what you are doing. If they don't know what mods you are putting on - they will either screw you on a claim, or just not pay out.

Try Sky insurance, they do understand what you are talking about - you can PM UIG ( Jae at Sky insurance and have a chat with him )
