What would be the best rurbo to place into my car, and also, what would my pricing be. I am a newbie to the car world. So can you explain in resembly english language. I have a fair budget. I am looking at a BPT. Sounds good but whats the go? How many Kw would i be recieving from this great sounding engine Thanks for youe time |

Oh ok, i have been searching all morning and unable to come up with any straight answrs. A website would be fantastic please.
Is it really worth dropping a BPT into my car? I'm having doubts about the performance i will get from the money i spend. Of course the new engine will be near stock and mods made from there, but the inital reaction i need. please help |

Thankyou, but i dont wish to be mean but i wanted to know what performance i would recieve from the conversion. Not how to do it. I appriciate the help and i may seem a little angry but i am also having major difficulties tracking a BPT motor down.
Any help on that would also be very helpful. Thanks again |

Sorry about this guys, but i am a newbie to the car game and im in way over my head at the moment.
I have a Mazda 1996 astina 323. Now there is a BP DOHC in there atm, however as you know i want the turbo. Does the BPT GT-R drop straight into it. Need help. Thank you |

As for a seat of the pants feeling it is a 50% increase in power the wow factor is
good but not fantastic. The car becomes nippy but no weapon by any means. Seeing you are leaving us in dark as to where in the world you are cant really offer a comparison but is similar to say a VTIR Intergra. As for getting a GTR motor have said this in many other posts the outlay for one over the GTX and the reality of trying to get a low mileage one makes getting a GTX and adding the goodies to it the better option.
