Mike Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I think it's around £4.5k for a decent N/A-T conversion. I think..... Ed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew_sup Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 i hear the boost logic kit it the best one that right? cause i can get one for $4500 so you can half that for pounds and probably add 300 to 500 for shipping to uk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geneb Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Mate after seening your N/A pic's you would prob get £5k for it so you dont need to save that much to get a TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezz Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Also, dont dismiss a TT engine conversion. Expect £3k fitted and set up. Thats cheaper than a good Na-T conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAG Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Do you sell a complete conversion kit to go N/A-TT Jezzy ie everything included to do the swap?If so how much for the parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezz Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Do you sell a complete conversion kit to go N/A-TT Jezzy ie everything included to do the swap?If so how much for the parts? Yup. £2k parts only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just a case of bolting on a turbo kit, there are a lot of ancillary parts that need to be considered to do the job properly. eg: Fuel injectors Fuel pump Fuel pressure regulator Fuel rail and lines (optional) ECU + mapping Thicker head gasket or ideally pistons to reduce compression ratio. Clutch Gearbox upgrade Brakes (if you have the smaller setup) LSD (if non factory fitted) Gauges; boost, egt, AFR, etc. Plugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaviE-K Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 what are the main differences between thw two engines? i am aware that the fuel system is differen, but arent the two engines essentially identical? only other things i can think being different are compression ratio possibly, and the fact one has a turbo and the other doesnt? (duh, lol) also the obvious stuff like ecu/mapping. was there a different gearbox + clutch fitted to the TT's? forgive my stupid questions lol dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_sup Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 thanks guys think ive made up my mind which route im going to take, going to go the ready made route and get a TT will be cheaper and will hold its value more than a conversion. D-day is hopfully september providing i sell the na quickly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear in mind it is NA-T conversion - 300/350 bhp so I belive stock clutch will handle it. He do not have to change headgasket if he will run to up to 0.7 bar, but yes - it is good to put thicker one. As for a car value... with this price dropping rate i do not think difference will be really huge heh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Have a look at this site, its specific for what you are thinking of: http://www.clubna-t.com/forums/ If you only want a TT then you'd probably be better selling up and going that road. But if you would want to convert the twin to get a single turbo anyway, you may be better off with an NA-T. Have a think about how much bhp you ultimately want. The boostlogic kits can give you up to about 380 or 400 bhp I believe? With the TT you could start with around 300+ anyway. I want to go the single turbo route too, but have a good luck at the clubna-t forum. good luck with whatever you decide to do;) L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 PHR stage 1 offers you everything except maybe clutch, brakes and gauges (Boost gauge is NOT needed). Why is a boost gauge not needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Why is a boost gauge not needed? You'll have no fuel cut on the ECU and even if running low boost, it will still trash your engine if you over boost. A boost gauge is essential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
