Hey everyone, I have found a custom fabricator who is willing to make some turbo kits for this car.
How much would you guys pay for all the mandrel bent piping plus turbo with wastegate ? also will try and see if they can squeeze an intercooler in. But i am trying to get them to make as close as possible fit withough moving battery or ac.

Would this fit the K8 aswell?

Not too much difference on those two engines.

I'd probably be in if it is a direct bolt on. Depends on the price though.

there is direct bolt on kits available from some other companys but there 4800can... not my target price.. trying to see what i can do im hoping to get them in the 2k range.

some planning is involved. after speaking with them today the battery has no choice to be relocated for a proper intercooler install..

ill keep you all updated.. anyone interested should let me know thanks..

id be interested if price is right, battery relocation is not problem for me, and its good for proper weight distribution.

great, just to let you all know too , the klze can handle 5psi on the engine as it is 10/1 compression already (higher compression means lest boost=more power than lower compression engines) if you go to 10psi youll need a rebuild after about a year(if you want to go more... get forged pistons and a apexi 2 to prevent predet).. but the stock internals on a true klze are pretty good around 5psi thats like 75 extra hp .. 50 at the wheels. ill let you all know asap ... ill also try and get a quote for larger turbo options.... the larger turbo will allow some people to get away with smaller /no intercoolers as they will barly build up heat.. downside is the turbo will cost more but if your planning on running 5psi you shoudn;t have to worry..

ive also had custom copper spacers made as most thermal spacers suck as$ as they are not the same shape as the klze roundish square ports.. ill let you know if they make a difference in a week or so..
