Nc automatic RHD turbo

Postby Wal3rotor » Tue Aug 08, 2017 7:40 am

Hi all and thanks for the add. Great site with lots of useful information. I used to own an na with a turbo many moons ago, and recently I purchased an NC with auto trans. Wasn't really looking for an auto but the price was too good to let it go. I have been searching everywhere I can thi k for an off the shelf bolt on turbo/ supercharger kit that won't break the bank however haven't had much luck. I have spoke. With a few sites in the states and the general consensus is that RHD are too hard to turbocharge. I can build my own kit from scratch but would rather not.....anyone in here running rhd turbo?

Thanks

I haven't heard of too many NC turbos, superchargers seem more common - but even then they're very rare. There's a 2.5L swap running a SC around here, but that's not a cheap bolt-on :mrgreen:

Up until now the NC was too expensive to attract the crowd that modifies the car much. I don't like your chances of finding a cheap bolt on solution. Contact a fabricator/tuner, like NitroDann for a custom solution, might cost more than you'd like but should yield an excellent result.
