Guess you can not keep the stock 16v fuel system, you need fuel system with MAP sensor for turbo application, AFAIK the turbo people typically use some aftermarket fuelsystem. And try to give some reasons why you need 16v for turbo. Get some junked 8v and launch the turbo project, I guess the advantage of turboed 16V vs turbode 8V is not worth the hassle. Save for stuff like intercooler, you will need huge one if you want to feel the advantages of poitive manifold pressure...
But having a friend running shop is definite advantage. -Nils ----- Original Message ----- From: "Francesco Fontanot" <[email protected]> To: "Volkswagen mailing list." <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 22, 2003 9:31 AM Subject: [a2-16v-list] going turbo Hello boys n girls. I was thinking in making the 16v turbo. I have some questions that im still looking for answers 1. How much boost will the stock fuel system hold without any damage? 2. Will stock 8v 8.5:1 VW Pistons Work for going turbo? 3. Any tips? I am aware fabrication and labour are expensive but i´ve got that covered because a good friend of mine owns a shop and its like our project. All inputs appreciated. francesco. _______________________________________________ a2-16v-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.a2-16v.com/mailman/listinfo/a2-16v-list For list archives, see listinfo link above.
