Cool is this possible?

Hi there. I was just wondering if it would be possible to fit a turbo from a 2.0T s40 on to my 2.0i s40? If so what would i need to fit it. I'm wanting to fit a dump valve to my car because i love the sound but understand that i need a turbo. I would change my car for a 2.0t or a t4 but ive spent loads on my current s40 i don't really want to part wih her. Thanks for your time guys.

In theroy you could fit one off turbo engine using all bits from one but it would be much easier just to drop a complete turbo lump and wiring loom in,

Its an expensive way of doing it like but i suppose you could build a new engine before you put it in, ie low comp pistons etc

What have you spent loads of money on, if it's bits added take em off and fit em to a 2.0t you buy, if it's just through maintenence then just make sure you buy a motor thats been looked after the same!!!

Either way it'll be cheaper and a lot less hasle than trying to fit a turbo!!

If it's just the sound you're after, why not just go for something like this?

I think it would probably be a bit easier......

So what you guys are saying is that it is possible but it'd probably be cheaper to fit a new turbo lump into it or just buy a new t4?
