Turbo Geo Metro Build

can i install a turbo in a polo 6n 1.0L is that is that possible and if yes do i get damage to my motor help me man

i love custom chaos like this.  i remember my first arc welds, thy looked horrible.

I was so ashamed of that manifold, to this day I have no idea how it held together. I was using 1/16 rods, not the primo rod. If you look at my new video, you will see the new manifold that was done using 3/32 7018 rods, I ground them down, but the weld had good penetration. Thing I love about the 7018 is when the amperage is just right, the slag almost falls off on its own. Chaos, such a fitting word for this project.

try using a different metal. i had to modify the 3" exhaust on my subie with an arc welder. the welds looked pretty good and had complete penetration. the 3/32 rods work well as they have a wider kerf width. i'm sure there are kits to make a manifold out there if you ever feel the need to upgreade.

if you look and my other video, you will see the new setup. I did use different metal and had little to no issues, just a little over-run now and then.

ok, cool! well i know the factory turbo on the (pontiac firefly turbo/ canada only car) its turbo was a "ihi rb32" and its kinda small. and i understand that. and what cam are you going to run?

and oh, SWEET! i have watched some other videos on here (youtube) and some turbo metros sound sweet, and some like crap! lol! but that sounds really cool! i can't wait to see the next vid! lol! and oh one other thing, this is a first time seeing someone turboing an auto metro! so this will be sweet!

I was worried about the whole auto/turbo thing, but it has been very solid!

lol, I changed it. Also, I HATE the fart can cars, I am using a 2 1/4 inch exhaust with a resonator midline and a 6x10 glasspack at the tip. rumbly, but not ricey.

hey, thanks for the props! I am in the process of putting a T-25 on the car instead of the TD04. As for the manifold, I am limited to that due to a lack of a mandrel bender. The log manifold has worked well so far, the torque gain was amazing. I ordered a 27x5x2 intercooler that will sit low in the bumper, hope to have a video of that up by the end of the week.
