    20v turbo conversion

    Right i got the engine and loom and everything for a conversion,

    I am going to attempt to do this and i know it will be a ball ache! But it ives me something to do in my spare time.

    I know the bulk is going to be an arse but is there anything else i should watch out for?

    Wanna make this happen as i have noticed nto many have done this..

    All opinion Our Mez, from the photos ive seen its only ever been the skin on the inner arch.... and the chassis can always be braced after.

    It would have been better and easier to do the 16vt. Youll struggle to get 16vt power down, let alone 20vt, and youll probably have to cut quite a bit of metal out of the engine bay.
    Punto Gt no more!
