Only problem is that you will have to install the turbo in the boot
. There is hardly any space in that engine bay of the Palio.

01. Expected power after TC

03. VGT possible?
04. If FGT, what should be the threshold RPM?

07. Good knowledgeable installers

1. Depends on what psi you are looking out for. Safely, if you went with 6 psi you should be looking at a 20-30 bhp increase on the wheels.
2. No way to measure 1 & 2 without dynoing it. But your torque will definitely improve a lot.
3. Possible. But no one has done it in India. Plus setting up the electronics for a VGT could pose a problem as most tuners are new to this concept of tcing.
4. Depending on the turbo, you could get it to provide boost from 2,000 rpm all the way to redline. For that you would need a small but quick spooling turbo.
5. Depends on your driving. But do expect it to go down a bit if you are pushing it hard. Advantage is due to the higher torque you will get an improvement.
6. Anywhere between 1-1.25L for your application with all BRAND NEW parts. That is turbo, intercooler, bov, manifold, piping etc.
7. Do a research.
8. Life of the engine will be compromised. But by the time the engine begins to act up you would have already upgraded to another car
.
9. Yes, the shoving back into the seat and the big grin on your face when you stack up against the 1.6 palio's
.
10. Depends on the choice of parts and the professionalism of installation. If done right, one should not have any problems. If done wrong, you have will have lots of wrinkles on your forehead.
