You dont seem to understand my current view of the nova, Ive done the spend 10K and make an epic engine thing with it before, thats easy, what I want to do now is spend naff all, use bits I have already, and end up with something close for naff all money.
Doing this the way I am saying will cost me:
M90 eaton charger - 300 quid
Pipework - 100 quid
Wastegate - got some spare already
So once again, rather than coming up with alternative solutions, which I can do all day long as well, can you please spend some time thinking about why what I have come up with WONT work?
I am already aware there are better chargers, and better turbos and frankly better engines than a 200 quid snotty old saab engine, but I am trying to do this as cheaply as possible with bits I either already have or can get hold of very cheaply.
You need to think "very cheap way of it working well enough" rather than thinking "big budget ultimate solution" to understand where I now am with this car, my days of spunking thousands on it ended when I went to the saab lump, its a different viewpoint entirely now.
