At that price you can buy a touring car can you not? As for me wanting to do it... No. No I don't. I have a 6 for reasonable paced fun car that's cheap to run. It fits ithe bill a treat.  ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

I've no idea about any of Ecosse's pricing or engine work, but the body kits and spoilers are uuuuugly. IMHO. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

I'm not so sure there. If that's standard internals your better off going to lynx. They are nearly half the price for low boost are they not?________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

This maybe true Aaron, although don't forget a turbo conversion is a whole different ball game to a supercharger conversion. There is more to a turbo conversion than an SC package. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

There is but not an additional 4k's worth. Christ, the inlet and exhaust mani could be knocked up at a company like where I work for not a lot if the design is all proven which I can only assume it is. The same goes for ic pipework. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

turbo conversion with forged internals should cost about the same as high boost if not cheaper imo________________________________________ |

Fair enough mate, whilst I like diesel drivability and economy it'll take a lot to persuade me to change from petrol power. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

I had originally planned to take my 306 (Bearing in mind this was before I had left school and pretty set my heart on a GTi6 ) to Ecosse for that sort of work only snag being a good 300+ miles one way plus the large bill and after seeing Rich W's mag feature back in '07 thus discovering Lynx and other companies since such as "Pug1off" and "Hiflowheads" which are a whole lot closer...________________________________________ I Live for the 306 TEAM CHERRY PINK RALLYE 2008 BMW ///M 320d |

Yes, although I can't vouch for the company myself, Hi Flow Heads doesn't have a very good reputation on here. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Oh really? That is a surprise  I did make some enquiries with them for a replacement head but I guess just as well that didn't happen... Not likely I will use them as I don't have a 306 and isn't guaranteed I will own another. Would be nice though ________________________________________ I Live for the 306TEAM CHERRY PINK RALLYE 2008 BMW ///M 320d |
