Auto 2lt turbo wanted !

Cleaned up the garage, found parts laying around, but it turned out to be a complete Volvo 480? If you want to sell your car (480 only) you can place an advert here.

Looking for a decent auto turbo with or without MOT asap please, prefer 90's car but all considered, cash burning hole in pocket !

Turbos are only 1.7 120 or 122 hp but there is not a 2.0 Turbo model.

I see, undecided now, do like the torque of the 2lt, why didn't they do a 2lt turbo, would have been cool !

two liter is far easier / lazy driver vs a 1700 can't comment on a 1700 turbo but I guess it depends on your preferred driving style, ie rev to red line before cghange or change mid rpm . . . . .

two litre turbos are a possible after-market, Cranna is planning one (I think as I gave him a throttle body)

Yes I had 1.7 non turbo nearly 20 years ago and it was a lively motor without turbo but now I'm officially an old fart according to my daughter the 2lt would be a nicer option, never was a boy racer tbh :lol:
