1.8T drivers unite.
1.8T drivers unite.
I know there is a VERY limited selection of people that have turbocharged the 1.8L V6 engine we jocundly call the K8, but there are some of you out there. I have decided to go ahead and turbocharge my K8 until I have the funds to buy and build a KL03. I would like to get somewhat of a discussion group going on. Also, this is a topic that can hopefully help out future K8 owners in their quest for turbo power. Please list your Emails and AIM or YIM screen names below so that we can all be in easy contact. Thanks in advance for the wealth of knowledge we all have and will gain from this. Also, thanks for your participation.

Re: 1.8T drivers unite.
Yea, Battosai and I did a lot of brainstorming when he came up with his turbo setup. I'm not stumped on what to do with my engine because I already know what I am doing. I would just like to get a good bit of information to help other people with their setups. I plan to take a great deal of pictures when I finally get around to putting the turbo on my car, and I will either make a thread on this board about it, or make a new site and put the write-up on there. Hopefully I will also have a little bit of video to help out also. I just want to get all the K8 turbo engines to put in their 2 cents on things that they would have done differently, problems they have run into, and parts and pieces they are excited about. Thanks everyone who has responded.
