Default Silly question - can you add a turbo to a 1.8 (NON turbo) engine?
Used to own a 1.8T - and recently bought a 1.8 (non-turbo). Significant difference in performance. Is it possible to ADD a turbo-charger to the basic 1.8 engine and if so does it cost a small fortune?

Thanks,
Cush

1) Yes. 2) Probably, yes unless DIY.
