Well hi there
I'm new to all of this,
I've recently gotten myself a little red Vivo GT.
I'd like to find out if anyone has turbo charged one of these motors and if anyone knows how much boost the block and head can handle.

Just pulling your leg bud. I reckon you should drop the old 1.9TDi engine (from the 2 door Sportline) into your GT for good old fashioned sh1ts and giggles!THEGTOWNER wrote:Howsit wanted something different that's why I went the gt routReegz wrote:Howdy!!
