Title: turbo on 8v Kjet?
Post by: tsr_adi on 11 September 2011, 22:44

I've secured a low mileage 8v Kjet engine for my mk1 cab, just wondering how much work would be involved in a low boost turbo conversion? Obviously a turbo manifold would be needed (probably the most expensive part), a garrett T2 for low boost and minimal lag, a GTD sump for turbo oil pickup, and an intercooler set up. Any recommendations on head gasket and fuelling arrangements?

Stacked gaskets will be ok, k jet can be made to work with a low boost setup.
