Short answer - forget it. Long answer - such add-ons are probably non-existent in India and even if you do find someone to do it the cost would be exhorbitant - almost as much as half a new alto's price. Impractical for most but fringe cases where money is no object!

+ to short answer by MODS.




It takes less time to do things right than to explain why you did it wrong.

LOL first of all I would like to say, inspite of various research going on, LPG and performance do not go hand in hand for at least retrofitted vehicles.

Secondly, ading a turbo to an alto is an awesome idea, but in your case, your car has already gone through LPG conversion process, which I believe is very much complex and has implemented major changes to the internals. And adding a turbo would mean more change, more hassles of maintenance and also requires knowledge to such a high level, it is truly impossible.

I am aware of the short answer given by rohit. I gave this explanation just to keep your spirits up and high. If money is not a concern to you, I suggest you to buy the K10 and do the MOD. The car will be more than a rocket!!

Why stop at K10 if money is not a concern...?

Supercharging a naturally aspirated engine is relatively easy as it does not involve tinkering with the exhaust system. However for this to be effective you need a cold air induction kit, a supercharger, an intercooler and finally an upgraded ECU. The last step is the most important of all failing which everything else is just a waste of money (which by no means will be less)!

Turbocharging on the other hand will require modifications to the exhaust manifold (since the turbo runs off the exhaust gases) - not an easy thing to do.
