Turbo question. (On K8 1.8L Engine)
Posted: April 9th, 2006, 9:47 am
Hey guys/girls.
Anyone here with a knowledge of turbocharging the k8 engine??
Reason im asking is that i work at a metal fabrication supply place so manifold building is of no problem. Sourcing oil/water lines is no problem also, along with piggy-back puter, piping, f/m/i etc.
Question is, will K8 handle something like 7psi?
But most of all due to a "V" shape of engine with manifolds coming out on both sides how will this work? Twin turbos? If so will they require any special timming procedures if same size?
Or will i need to get one small and one large turbo with small winding first and larger after.
Also, will k8 need any compression work to run 7psi or lower?
Any help with this K8 i get ould be most apreciated.
