Hello all! I am thinking bout turbocharging a 206 gti (138 hp) but are having problems locating already manufactured parts. Could anyone help me?
P.S I am based in theCarribbean so Tuners offering conversions dont help!!!
Thanks in advance.
Any helpful information regarding this is welcomed!!!

Only place I ever seen turbo's are at www.ecosse-peugeot.co.uk you will be best off dropping them an e-mail and asking them. Don't expect a reply straight back as they usually answer all e-mailed questions once a month. But they have turbo conversions available. Don't forget its not just the turb you have to fit, you also have to uprate all the rear suspension and driveshafts etc. due to massive increase in power. Its why its so expensive. Another option is supercharging, they I think can be found at www.gmcmotorsport.co.uk |

As Biggy has said before......there is only Ecosse that advertise turbo parts for the 206. Due to the bulkhead modifications needed......people find it easier to either supercharge.......or keep it naturally aspirated and get well over 200bhp.
The s/c can provide 250bhp reliably........anything over that can start getting unreliable.
With throttle bodies, headwork and cams....you can get 200-220bhp.

Recently been round the Peugeot factory at Ryton, Coventry, and was reliably informed that any modifications that would take the car to anything over 200 bhp would cause the front of the car to go one way and the rear to go another.
200 bhp is the absolute limit on the 206 without major bodywork and chassis modifications, or a conversion to rear, or four wheel drive.
Forget about the 206 wrc, this car is a different animal, and bears no resemblance to a 206 underneath.
