hi all newbie to the sight not a newbi to owners clubs. had a change over from nissan to pugs and owned quite a few in the last year including 306 1.9TD A 306 convertible a 306 gti6, a 2001 406 and my current a 1999 406 1.8 with a nackered clutch so the plan is to either sell it or strip it and buy another. i have had my eye on a couple of 406 turbo's are they any good?

Welcome in Rodney!
406 petrol turbo (D8 only) is a great car to drive! Not too many problems, the engines are bullet proof if they haven't been thrashed.

good to know what bhp are they standard? i'v had a few turbo cars in the past the worst been a 99 uk turbo impreza that i got sick of puttin money into

150bhp standard, don't expect it to knock your socks off though.
Guys on here have uprated the turbo and sooped them up but I don't know how long the lump would last with all the bolt ons! (That's just me being an old fart though )

bet the torque is ok though i prefer turbo cars that havnt been messed with tbh. i had a 1994 200bhp saab what a machine that was just rubbish fuel economy lol
