Im really toying with the idea of getting rid the 2.1DT in favour of a Exec turbo, just wanted to know what can be done to the 8 valve turbo to make it a little more interesting? what kind of intercoolers do they have. I have a reasonably sized HKS intercooler wanting a home :cheesy:
I will end up breaking the 2.1 for spare bits as its done 180K hard miles now and is starting to make noises :cry: I hear it shares the gearbox with the 8 valve turbo?
Anyway any tuning info glady apriceated.
98, Executive turbo estate in aluminum silver. The stealth wagon! Now departed, New project Xsara VTR-8 in progress, Next Project, 406 D8 / JAP. So will be looking for a 406 again when the xsara is done!

The exec turbo doesn't need fiddling to be 'interesting' - it's got an awesome engine! :)
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
