Think the easiest way mate is finding a 20V thats been in a rear end smash and taking all the bits you need from that.  :cool:

been looking into both options to be honest, trouble is cant find a rear ender anywhere, plus i want to be a bit different to the norm, but at least th 20v lump is designed for the turbo,  :undecided: not sure what to do

Can see where your coming from about wanting something different mate. You must be able to convert the 2.0 8V to turbo you would obviously need forged pistons in order to lower the compression ration to 8:5:1 which is what you need for turbos. Have you tried talking to AMD Tuning?

Im actually suprised alot more people havent done it over here then. Its proberly because its so much easier to just fit the 20V. Heres AMD's link though mate sure they will be able to help you.  amdtechnik.com
