Hi! Can someone tell me if you can instal a turbo on a v70 non turbo 2.4 from 98? Thank you!

 

In short YES.

The real answer... You just don't slap a turbo on your car and go. It is a little more involved then that.

You'll need items like...

-Turbo
-Downpipe
-Catback system
-Intercooler
-Intercooler hardpipes
-Turbo hoses
-Vacuum lines
-Oil or water lines for the turbo
-Most important is an ECU tune to allow the turbo to actually work its magic without hurting your car.
-Etc...

Just a small list of parts you'll need there.

If you use used parts I;d say your looking at a good $1,500 if you use new parts $3,000 plus.

IMO not worth it. Sell your N/A and buy a turbo model.

 

Short version of the problem is this. Turbo works by "packing" air into the cylinder. Therefore, it can burn more fuel = more explosive power downward on the piston.....etc... ending at the drive wheels. Except, you need to deliver more fuel into the combustion chamber, too. Which means doing something to your fuel injection. Wider pulse width or bigger injector orifice. And that doesn't even reveal the tip of the iceberg as different rpm's and loads require different fuel additions. Think "tuners" of mostly Japanese cars who are fluent in chip as well as mechanical parts.

Or else you have a way too lean air/fuel mix which causes knocking and eventual destruction of your engine if the knock sensor can't back off timing enough which in and of itself is counterproductive to maximum power.

Then comes parts and labor. By the time you're done, you've spent more than the finished product is worth; especially since "prepackaged" turbo models are available. Assuming you're a good enough "tuner" to make it run right across the rpm scale.
