with enough time money and knowhow, yes you can, it has been done. 318_tc has his dynoed at 454 whp.

but you really need to have a clue what your doing. you would need a big turbo, custom downpipe and exhaust stand along engine management, and reinforced half shafts, really strong clutch, and an lsd just to get the car rolling because it will be very hard to drive.

with money, anything is possible...you're looking at well over 10k when it's all said and done if you're planning on boosting the right way

Be sure you know how to drive a 450hp car before you build one. You're 16, be thankful you have a sweet ride like the tC to begin with, worry about boosting later

well, the clutch pedal would be very hard to work, and then getting off the line in a front wheel drive car.

hey bro, i'm 18 and after christmas money will be turbo'd around 300hp. so am i not supposed to have that much? then again, since i was 16 i've had two years of research over this guy, and a job that pays for my parts... and experience driving my car... okay nvm haha, there's a huge difference between 16 and 18. (except in car insurance premiums )

add I/H/E (also make sure you add the sticker to your car that comes with each product) and you will easily be at 250! only 200 away from your goal!.... sigh
