2.0l MR2 tuning potential?

I'm very much considering getting this now, the exhaust and induction would be affordable mods and I think it's probably the most sensible option. Plus, in another 2 years my mum's TT will be up for sale....hmmm ;)
 
Right, just been for a test drive in it.
It's lovely to drive and with CAI and exhaust should do me fine.

Think I'm going to put a deposit on it tomorrow :)
 
a neighbour has a MR2, just spent 3k on it, twin turbos, intercooler and manual boost, decat etc, flying machine he reckons.
he has also added six pots etc.
if you need any info I could but probably way over your budget, but it must have nearly 300hp, but dont quote me on that.

L0rdmike has an MR2 turbo pushing 350+ BHP (IIRC?) and that's just insane.
This one is only the 2.0 engine, so no turbo to play with, however at 174bhp it's no slouch and will do me until I finish uni and get some cash together.

two turbos? On an inline 4, and in the cramped mr2 engine bay? :confused:

3k to get 300hp?! I think he's telling porkies, specially with the twin turbos ;)

dont forget he had brakes wheels, all the engine work, the bloke aint a liar, hes not a young fella probably in his fifties. it might be more than 300 bhp anyway, the engine bay looks pretty trick.
 
I can get you some pics if you lot dont believe, when he pulls up outside I will go see him, get the full info where he had it done etc.
right just been and seen him, he had it done by rogue systems, its a stage 3, had a complete engine change, the turbo is twin stage or something and its over 300 bhp
like he said he had decat and full exhuast aswell.
He must love his car as he has some nice calipers sent to be powdercoated and some new braided hoses and vented disks to go on when he gets the calipers back
