Default 1.4i turbo upgrade options?

Is it possible to install a turbocharger on the 1.4i Furio engine? If so which would be suitable?

Cheers
Connor

I've read online and know it can be done just wanted to know which would be best, and I can turbo it cheaper than a vts engine

Really?! A couple of hundred quid gets you the parts for a VTS conversion.

Mapping costs and physical fitment of it etc cheaper than a vts engine swap? Yeah right...
If you could do all that yourself you wouldn't be asking this question too lol

turbo'ing a tu3 has been wavering in my mind for a while, going itb's now, but anyway, when i was doing a bit of research on it, the 1.4's were coming along nicely with a bit of boost, many holding 200 ish bhp without much bother, and if a vts lump is 125, thats going to be a right muncher

Fitting it yourself is one thing but even if you can do all the work yourself it's not going to work out cheaper than a vts engine. That's not to say don't do though why stick with the 1400?

Not really I mean I've never done one on a saxo so wanted to know which was best suited to my chosen engine is all. I thought the forums were for help not unnecessary criticism if you cant help don't comment

So you've done one on something else then? Would have thought that would have taught you the basics
