Re: Twin turbo in the planning

For TT you are looking at somewhere from $10-15k for it to be reliable and not some POS job. On a stock engine, it might last a little bit, but in the end you will need to build an engine as well, which is in the same $$$ vicinity. The SVX will require fabrication every single step of the way, there is nothing that is available off the shelf that will help you accomplish the task.

If you want to go any type of F/I you must upgrade EMS, Radiator, Injectors, Fuel pump at the very minimum. Next weakest thing is rods and pistons, which will most likely go soon depending on mileage of the car. Factor in the age of the car, the age of the various sensors, wiring harnesses and other unexpected obstacles and you get the picture, if you are up for that... power to you. If you are looking for an easy and cheap project... I strongly recommend to look at a different car.
