Russj Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Hi New member, I have a Legacy V tourer, 2.0 Lineatronic. I have been looking for a method to boost power for towing caravan. I know that the ECU cannot be remapped. I have asked around about adding a turbo, however cant find anyone with experience of fitting. I have looked at the 2.5 lt engine but cost of unit plus fitting seems very expensive for gain of only 20hp Wondered if anyone has any experience or ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Wotcha - I think it is more than the HP when it comes to towing Torque / nm is more of a factor. Have you researched the 3.0 lump? If that is cost prohibitive maybe selling / swapping the 2.0 for a 3.0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 welcome. As said you'd be better selling it and buying another car, costs involved will be prohibative and it wont help with low down grunt anyway. For towing you want torque not BHP.
