Removing Turbo from 85 16V .... Posted by iveand [Email] ![]() ![]() |
this is the $65 car. It needs a lot of work, and I already love the car, but it will never be more than my grocery getter. I have a friend with an 88 2.0 N/A. What are the obstacles to swapping exhaust manifolds and all the turbo plumbing with him? I would be left n/a, but it seems to match the car. I understand my compression ratio is less than his, possibly leaving mine with real weak performance. But how bad would it be? I don't know if I trust my car over 3K RPM anyway ... were the turbo starts to spool up.
I feel it would be a fair exchange to have him help me on some of the "essentials" for my car. Thoughts?
