My old man has just baught me an Impreza as a gift. However, it is a Subaru Impreza, 4WD Sport. Now obviously it doesn have any turbos in it. I am wondering if it is possible to get turbos put in it. I wana install turbos if it is possible otherwise id have to get rid of the car.

Please do let me knowguys, cheers

 

Cheaper to sell it and buy a Turbo..

JGM

 

Buy a turbo

 

OR......stop being an ungrateful git, grit your teeth and make do.

 

It's a fair point! Won't your old man be a tad p!ssed off with you for flogging the car he's only just bought you...?!

 

The Judge - Exactly man, thats the problem and also, he gave me it as a gift. Its hard to turn down a gift, specially from ure old man.

However, i may keep it for a month or so and sell it on. I phoned scoobysport and he told me that I could get some good money for my car so I should sell it. From what he said, being a 1 owner car, FSH, female owner and also the fact that it is a metallic colour. It should fetch + or - 4k. If that is so, then im happy for now.

But is it possible to get turbos installed other than having to change the whole engine.

 

That was very nice of him. Do you think you'll be able to get him to buy us each a car as well?

Obviously. And?

You could buy a knackered old turbocharger from a scrappy and chuck it in the boot. Would that be enough for you?

If you want one connected to the engine, it's technically possible, yes, but practically possible, probably not, given what it'd cost, what the car would be worth afterwards, and what it'd cost you to insure. It'd be more practical to sell it and buy an Impreza Turbo, which of course you'd still have to pay to insure.

Why can't you just drive it the way it is? Sports are more than quick enough for many people. A lot cheaper to run as well. Alternatively, you could take the "Sport" stickers off, put all the Turbo cosmetic bits on it, and nobody apart from your doctor would know them **** ain't real...

Have you ever heard the saying about not looking a gift-horse in the mouth? I daresay your old man would be a bit p*ssed-off if you sold the car. Maybe it'd be better to drive it around for a few years until you're old enough to be able to buy/insure a turbocharged Impreza yourself?

OMG man, u dont understand. I had a Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo prior to this and ma engine seized as ma fuel injector back fired. Now it was costing a forune to repair considering the amount of mods I had on it. It was outputting at 439 Bhp with full Blitz tuning. I was very upset and ma old man cudnt bare see me like that so he went out n bought me the Scooby as he knew I was looking out for one. He bought it on the impression of how mint it was and its history but i was more after the power.

But hey, I am very greatful of what hes done for me and he isnt the type that wud get pi$$ed but being upset, I wouldnt know. Thats y i dont wana sell it as a first option.

Hmmm, you spell like a 12 year old, and exaggerate like a 13 year old. How old are you?

Wots up wiv u ruud boy, if u havent got anything decent to say, then dont say it. Dissin a guy on a forum isnt anything big kid, no matter how old i am, ure still the infidel

 

LMFAO!!


I get the feeling this is a **** take.

 

What is, I only asked a simple question to which I expected a simple yes or no answer. Maybe it was a stupid question though thats the whole point of this forum, getting rid of silly misunderstandings. But some people begin a flame war for no such reason at all. prior to this grease guy, all the other replies have been good replies as i expected.

 

btw what does LMFAO stand for

 

You think Trem? With the general standard of spelling among schoolkids nowadays, it's difficult to tell!

BTW, laughing my f***ing *** off...

 

What the f*** has spelling got to do with this thread. Y r u being an *** hole for. Does it look like ure grandmas English class. Its a ****** car fanatics website, not a Shakespearean website.

Beat me to if Greasemonkey..

LOl

JGM

 

On the contrary. You were on a wind-up, I guessed you were on a wind-up (so did Trem, BTW), and decided to answer in kind. If you wish to indulge in such behaviour, don't go crying to mummy when your bluff gets called...

 

Listen u fish, just cos im new to this forum doesnt mean to say i aint been on any other forum. Every *** hole acts big and hard like u. Theres always a screw face like u on ever forum that thinks hes the best at cussin. Dont worry, u aint no match for me.

Secondly, speak like a gentleman in a gentlemans discussion, quit playing ure lil games.

We'll leave it at that and not continue with any obsenities

I've been called some things in my time, but it's certainly the first time I've been compared with the erstwhile singer from Marillion, I'll give you that.

 

Lol, my bad, we'll leave the grudges aside i guess

 

I will hand it to you kilo, you really have made me smile. I'm not getting at you at all, but to call someone a fish is a classic. One of your replies above seems like it was wrote by a different person, it was grammatically impressive.

I am dead sure that this is a wind up.

 

My god what have I missed here?! I dunno, it's been relatively quiet on here today, so I go and fix someone's PC, and come back to this absolute classic...! The first page has already been printed and stuck up on the board behind me. Fantastic. If it was genuine, kilo_4que, then I apologise, but you've certainly made my day...! And Greasemonkey, as usual, respect ruud boy.

*now going to toilet before pants get p!ssed in again*

 

What, u think someone else posted on my behalf. Gimme a break, y am i gona do that fo heavens sake. N calling someone a fish is a polite way of being inpolite. Anyhow, its good n everyone lives happily ever after.
