well you can do it the cheap way and have a shonky unreliable motor developing not much more power than a standard 16v. It will probably cost you 3 or 4 times the price of a KR motor.

..or you can do it properly and have a lovely expensive motor that still won't put out as much power as a 20vT conversion and cost twice as much.

there are other reasons people don't bother turbocharging the 8v motor.. those are just two :afro:

I've got a 20vt in my daily @245hp, the noise gets boring after awhile, love getting in my 8v and getting the n/a noise. Grass isnt always greener and all that, if the 8v was my daily and cupra was my toy id be saying the other way around!

Applies to most things.  Too much of the same of anything can become boring...  Only way round it for me would be to have at least 3 cars, a charged 8v, a 20VT and a 16v on carbs.  :grin:

Someone needs to develop a quick release engine kit for the three motors so they can easily be swapped around one car.  :grin:
