Have you read the Readers Rides thread of the supercharged Toyota Aygo? Something to consider maybe seeing as it's almost identical to a C1

Not 100% sure on price yet until I'm complete and know exactly what's needed.

My gut reaction? All that hard work, dedication and labour time, and you've still got a 1800cc 4-pot? confused


And quite a dull one, IMO of course....


All credit to you for the skillz etc, but the V6s are much more impressive in my eyes.

Yes very true it is just a 1800 4 pot but tuning potential and parts are very available for these very tried and tested engines.
I finding there a lot of interest in the c2 community for a turbo charged engine conversion. I'm starting yonthinkbrgere could be a good market for it but time will tell.
Nothin ventured nothing gained as they say. Be interesting to see how well a 210bhp v6 fairs against this 210bhp 1800...

When left standard in an A6: dull as a dull thing.

With a few choice bolt ons in a teeny little lightweight C2? Hilarious snarly, raspy hot rod of a thing.

If you don't like the noises turbo 4s make you'll never like it but I happen to.

Scope for 300, 400 bhp or more, V6 is a bit of a dead in tuning wise, in comparison.

Tuning parts for the v6 are rare so very expensive to tune over 260bhp.

Hi I know we are now 4 years on from these posts but if you was to do this conversion again what would the price be for this?
