So, firstly I'm dead new here, HI!

 

Im looking to get a 300, but my options around here are very limited and I'm going to have to drive quite a ways to look at what is already available.

 

I would like a twin turbo (Like anyone) but they're scarce and haven't seen anything come up for about 5 weeks now (Without it being horribly molested and having some naff body kit and sticker all over it).

 

Because the car would be a project for me that will inevitably take all my pennies, I was contemplating getting a non-turbo model, and then turbo-charging it?

 

If i were to do this, would it be worth sourcing the stock turbo kit from a breaking possibly? Should be a direct bolt in right?

 

Or do i go for aftermarket?

 

So thats the only thing I'm really curious on is the turbo situation, any pointers or guides would be greatly appreciated.

 

(Also if anyone is close to where i may get the 300, could someone possibly meet with me to give it a once over as I'm no pro)

 

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Putting a TT into an NA isn't a case of just bolting on 2 turbos.

 

It's a huge job.

 

There's a list of all the parts you need on the Z1 website. It's pretty extensive.

You'll better off saving and waiting for a TT to come up.

Granted it wouldn't be a job to do in a hour, a project for a week or longer maybe?

 

It may be extensive, but is it very very difficult? If i was able to source the TT parts from a breaking 300, would that not suffice? Then its a case of putting it in? (Sounds easy, right? lol)

 

If i wasn't about to source from a breaking, what about a aftermarket TT kit for it? Same problems??

 

P.s. thanks for the link its v.useful

Hi and welcome to the club :thumbup1: Buy a TT rather than changing a NA zed to TT its far to much hassel and work imo.

Welcome! Did you see this post from one of the Club's traders?

Wow, i had not, search all of google and found nothing else, Bar a tonne of automatics which I'm not interested in, You don't happen to know the transmission on this do you?

That one is a Manual. I wouldn't let the transmission put you off though, autos can be converted to manuals quite easily.

Quite a few owners in the Club have done so.

Oh Really? That widens my options by quite a margin! Is it expensive to do so?

Not particularly, have a search in the "for sale" section. Usually around the £400 to £500 mark. Here is one

example (now sold):
