GazGTi Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Has anyone who has had either a 175bhp or 220bhp conversion done on there GTi/Si tell me roughly how much their insurance is. Im thinkin of gettin it done in a few months but dont want to have it converted then find out its 4k for insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee R Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 what company you going with for the conversion??? beware, my advice is if it's costing less than 3.5k you ain't getting a proper job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazGTi Posted April 9, 2003 Author Share Posted April 9, 2003 Ive not looked that far into it, but i can remember someone on the bulletin board saying they did the conversion. think it was 2500 for 175 or 3500 for 220. i used to have a 191bhp Rs cabriolet so the 115 from the gti aint satisfying my needs! Other than the turbo route, whats the best way for more power. I was thinkin of a superchip, 2.0 throttle housing air filter n exhaust but thats not gonna give much i wouldn't of thought.

Pete Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 turbocharge it, limitless power in the zetec as long as you've got limitless money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee R Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Gaz, if you decide to go ahead, the company in my sig will do a 'proper' job for a 'proper' cash price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheen Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 what about keeping the zetec bottom end and swaping the top for the chv from an rst - could be much cheaper and see you good for 200bhp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
