Turbo setup?
« on: August 08, 2007, 03:17:48 am »
I've got a different question about turbo'ing a block.  I've tried to bid on a turbo setup for the engine three times now and have been sniped at the last second.  Are the manifolds from the gassers the same?  This one looks similar.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VW-8-Valve-turbo-manifold-T3-jetta-golf-corrado-rabbit_W0QQitemZ140145454986QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item140145454986

I'd be just as happy building my own turbo setup than trying to keep on bidding (and loosing at the last second) on a used turbo setup.

But the turbo will sit in a different location so you'll need different oil lines, also the flange pattern for the turbo will probably be different.

I probably have a TD manifold. IM if interested

I'm not worried with position.  I think I'll intercool anyhow.  After all this engine isn't ending up in a VW.  Lots of stuff to work out.  :wink:
