Turbo Technics 8v conversion

[Stupidog]

Hi,

I've just bought an 8v Turbo Technics MK2 in the last month or so, initial impressions are good is def flys along when it's over 3500rpm.

I was wondering if anyone else has one of these or if there is any info out there about them ?

I'm trying to find out stuff like, BHP, Torque, MPG etc

Also it seems a little hesitant off boost, is this normal given the timing set up, 28 deg BTC ?

All info appreciated.

Turbo 8v's are cool to be different, but don't expect any major power from it. A mate had one years ago, and worked for a well rated car tuner/ engine builder at the time. He fully rebuilt it, lightened and balanced everything, had extra injectors on boost sensitive switches, custom oil catch tank as it used to blow oil everywhere (out of dump valve + rocker), basically he got just over 160 bhp and anymore is a nightmare on kjet. He ended up selling the whole kit for 500 (t3 included!) Because it wouldn't do what he wanted... Keep it standard + enjoy it I'd say.

Yeah the point here is that it isn't something you'd want to do now but an old skooler that's already been is worth having and keeping as it is...
