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:

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.

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!
