[paceo 22]

Depending on what hardware theyve used, i would pay between 1.5 -2k ish, leaving another grand for your clutch and other bits that you will inevitably need

think mpg goes out the window when your turbo them. a guy where i live did a vr6 turbo with 385bhp he beat it very day for a year and only thing to go wrong was the gearbox

cool, but are they reliable?

you can never tell really . if it been done right and looked after then can't see why not. its the chances you will have to take if you want the power

If you spend £3000 on rebuilding the engine and don't drive it over 2000rpm I would imagine the chance of it being unreliable is greatly reduced compared to if you just bung a turbo on a standard motor and blat it every where. Reliability has too many determining factors. Buiit properly they are no more unreliable than a standard VR gearboxes seam to be a week leak.
