turbo conversion

[farmer]

Hi my mate has offered me a turbo,inlet and manifold of a tt for 200£ witch I think is a bargin but where do I start to convert my car iv running a stander 1.8 8v I was thinkin of making a engine to fit it too abit like the turbo tecnics but would it be cheaper or easyer to put a 20v t in it how could I go about this? Any surgestions ?

You're looking at about £3-4k for either approach.

Custom management, forged/uprated internals - unless you have a 1.8 8v G60 block ... a total nightmare to be honest. You'd be better off trying to use a 20vT, but it still aint cheap.

If you have to ask these sort of questions and are under the impression that you can just bolt a 20v inlet and manifold on a normal 8v engine (thats how your post reads anyway) you really shouldnt be considering it at all. You can do a turbo or supercharger conversion for very little money if you know what your doing and set realistic goals but I suspect the turbo you have been offered may be too big for a small budget.

 I woz thinking of useing a 16v mk2 head mk3 gti bottomend mk2block and a deisal crack abit like the turbo tecnics engine I no there's a hol lot more to the conversion I don't want and am not guna cut corner but I could do with a experts advice on wot to do e.I witch way to go someone from a diff forum room gave me a good link http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4528939 witch is a good cheap way of a turbo conersion on a 8v

If your mechanical skills are as good as your language skills, then I think you should improve both before trying anything nearly as advanced as seeking information about nailing a turbo conversion together out of some random bits you have lying around, or can buy 'cheap'.

Doing anything like what you're suggesting needs a lot of research.  People will respond a lot better to your questions if you use proper sentences using real words and punctuation.

The flip side is I probably have a load of bits you can have for 'cheap' which may be useful in this conversion you're thinking about......

My language skills might be because I have reading and writting difficulty's.so sorry for the spelling. My merchanical skills are better than average and I'm willing to give it a go.I have found a passat in a scrap yard with a 20vt its on a t-reg which I'm thinking of giving a go.vwvortex good site!
