Hello all. I have a '98 Amigo 2.2L, 5-speed and I'm lookin' to have a little fun with it. I'm thinking about putting some boost to that biznatch. Now keep in mind this isn't my first project. I've put a VR6 out a '96 Passat and put it in an '86 Golf from the junkyard. I've also put a Saab T3 turbo on an OBD1 2.0 8v in a non-OBD car running 10-11 psi. all day long. I've also done the same thing with an '84 VW diesel, same basic turbo setup and all.
Now here's what I would like to know. I know the MAF will read the extra air coming in, but will it know what to do with that much air? How strong are our bottom ends?
I'm gonna start with 6 lbs. of boost and go from there. Seeing how much you guyz worry about your hard/soft tops so much, you may not be much help. I'll be posting everything on this lovely forum for you allz enjoyment. Thanks in advance.

 

HAHA veary nice, i think that would be crazy, i was going to drop mine with air ride, turbo to aboute 10-15 psi boost with direct port NOS :-) BUt,,,,,, every since i swaped the moter out with the 1989 isuzu pickup, it hasnt ran right, i put new everything in it, fuel pump filter injectors full tune up, sensors, the ecu,, basicly every thing and still wont run. but if you get a turbo on that, let me know because that car should be freekin quick, redlines just aboute 6grand,,, yeah...
