Are you able to slap a turbo on a ep2??? i want to do it when i get mine. but ive been told that you cant :S

yeah you can put a turbo on yr car! not as easy as slapping it on tho lol, would you be doing it yr self ? if so there will be a lot of cutting going on. will need aftermarket engine management, will have to make a return pipe from the turbo going to the sump etc it goes on and on lol, if you know the right people im sure you can get it done for the right price, there are some people on this site that have tryed and failed as it is not as easy as they think. good luck m8

You can if you run it on low boost. However i would advise doing an inlet conversion first as i expect the standard one would melt hear is a link to a bolt on turbo kit for our cars.
