lupodeano Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 That's fine if someone could just let me know the parts so I can buy them and the guy that's doing it is dynamite with cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 If he is that good surely he will know exactly what is needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupodeano Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Why be a t**t I'm wanting to know what I need ? Before I go to him and ask him and so I can buy the bits I've asked him for a favour but all I want to know is what is it I need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW-LUPO-S Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Only looking for a point in the right directionthe right direction would be this i suppose, just have a read or message the company asking whats there if you dont know what is there. http://www.t-t-p.de/english/vw_lupo.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvGTI Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 U guys are hardcore ^^ that Mighty Car Mods episode was fricking great though !@Lupodeano: Stay calm, search the forums a bit, also look around the Members' Cars section, there's several turbo'd or swapped Lupos around. Also if your guy is dandimite, then why not involve him from the beginning even as you're just looking for info or parts ? I am the shittiest mechanic on earth, so before each modification, I read up on them and consult my buddy Tom, who's my mechanic. No fault to report yet.And don't forget to post up a thread if you're going for it Marv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vwlup0 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Just a tad of info, dynamo man should order the parts himself if he's a mechanic? Because if it all goes tits up and the engine goes pop, you've got something to fall back on, if you understand?Oh and manners, it's a friendly forum, try keep it like that.

Piers Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 ...an answer thats as pointless as your question...what level are you taking it too?brakes to accomodate the power... probably not.suspension.... probably notthese are just 2 corners you will most likely cut so its probably safest if you buy a nova.

Karl_Mac_ Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Come to think of it, it might be easier/cheaper to swap for a G40 motor, bin the supercharger and turbo that instead. Or buy one of them turbo whistle intake things off ebay. Or buy a Starlet. Or something small and turbo charged to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
