Trying to hop-up a 240D is an exercise in futility if I've ever heard of one.

I like to play with this stuff, and if I get the cars, I'll have an extra 240D to experiment with. I've got some fast stuff, so I'm not worried about that either.

I'm just researching it now, but I think it would be a interesting challenge. How cheaply can I slap a turbo on a 616? Know what I mean?

BTW Kerry, those kits from across the pond are interesting, but are also around 3K (American). I know where I can get some cheap old turbos, intercoolers, ect... at, so I might persue this and see what happens. If not, no biggie. Again, to me, it sounds like a fun little project for this winter. Yeah, my 240D is faster then your 240D, lol. Not that that's saying much.
