Cost is the reason for the turbo, $300 shipped with a 6 month quarantee.
The 220cc injectors are used on all the 2.5L motors including the 200hp KLZE. At 10psi I figured I was at approx. 200 hp. The FMU, Fuel managment unit, is used to raise fuel pressure when it sees boost. I have an 8:1 ratio unit but they come in many different ratios. So for every 1 psi of boost it is supposed to raise my fuel pressure by 8psi.
The setup I have has a reputation of not being very reliable and from what I have read would probably agree. In the not so distant future I will be installing Meqasquirt, its a standalone/piggy back for the ECU.
I'm not sure if you have been to a site called Probetalk but there are alot of boosted 2.5L's on there and even more good information.
I have only seen one picture of a twin turboed K series motor and that was not installed in a car. it should make for a very unique K8
