1.4 8v needs more power

Post by Jonnydotcom »

Ok so I've got a 1.4 8v fitted with a auto gearbox(disabled driver) but want to get more power out of the car but really don't want to stick a redtop in it is there anything else that can be done to boost the power??
Been told by a m8 to stick a turbo on but ain't got a clue where to look.

You can't just stick a turbo on it! It just won't last, plus it ain't that simple! Engine conversion is cheapest option or just buy another car with bigger engine
