The Turbo Technics Kit (TT Kit)
You could buy the Turbo Technics kit (TT Kit) to "Bolt on"
in 1986 for £1,581, although
this involves a lot of work. The earlier xr2 needed the piston crowns
machining flat, the later xr2s (after 86) could run without this
modification, the only way to make sure if the pistons do/ do not need
machining is to have a look a them.
The kit included:
TT plenium chamber
Vac advanced unit
Fuel pump
Fuel Pressure Regulator
Copper pipe to replace your fuel return
Intercooler
