I'm kinda tired of the wimpy 115hp my car puts out, so im wondering if I can get decent power gains by placing a turbo??<P>What kinda gains can I expect from my 1.8 DOHC I4?

unless you have done an engine swap or theres been a diff engine put in there you should find out if its the 4cyl or v6 first. if its a 1.8 with the stock engine then its a v6. if its a 1.6 then its a 4 cyl. search in this forum and look at the other turbo rs topic and skip the bulls--- fighting but at the end there are some very good posts. happy searching.
