a mercedes or a vw?  i thought andys car was an idi

his car used to be an IDI, but then he swapped to tdi, way more potential for HP. and its alot easier to machine a tdi head than it is to do an idi.. pretty sure he is running 80+ psi boost in a mk2 jetta.. not positive tho. i havent gotten any real hard evidence from anyone, not even from andy2..

Well I might. I have a few questions myself. I also am thinking of doing up either a 1.6 or 1.9, don't know yet. When using 2 turbos, that affects oil pressure right? Does it affect the oil pressure enough that the head would starve? I'm thinking I would have to use a solid lifter head or mechanical lifters. How do the guys like andy2 manage?

turbos dont use much oil.. not loads like everyone thinks. oil just trickles out the turbo, even when its being fed by 100+ psi.
