That's sweet. Let us know what kind of performance gains you get. I want to put some kind of forced induction in my 2.0.

Go with EIP tuning, they have a Stage I 196+ WHP kit, I think that's what I'm getting for mine :lol:

Nice, I'll definitely check into it.

EDIT:
The Stage I 196 WHP kit is for the A3 models, but I wouldn't mind having the intercooled Stage II turbo kit for A4's. It says it will outperform a 1.8t and stock VR6. At $3300, it's not the end of the world. Maybe I could find a VR6 engine for about that and swap it out, though.

Oh yea... you have an A4, my bad. Can't believe I missed the HUGE A4 Headlights in your signature, and the text below it, lol

[burn_your_money]

Nice. When do you plan on installing that?

[vwcrazykid]

Nice. When do you plan on installing that?Within in a few weeks.I actually have almost everything I need sitting on the floor in my basement intercooler,bov,turbo,exhaust mani,wastegate,headgasket,arp head-studs but I've been pretty busy more recently so I haven't had a chance to bolt everything up. :cry:

[burn_your_money]

Right on, thats cool man. You should go find a certain section of road, and time yourself a few times, and then when you put the turbo on, do it again and tell us the numbers, unless you are getting it dynoed.

[burn_your_money]

Thats handy. I don't have any around here....For sure post the numbers :D

[vwcrazykid]

Thats handy. I don't have any around here....For sure post the numbers :DYea I think I'm gonna be around 180 hp to the crank a friend of mine has a T3 super60(which is about the same size of my k26)but he has a stage 3 upgrade in it with the same engine(2.0 aba)he's putting out over 300 to the crank :P .But this is a moderate setup for me since I'm planning on starting another project soon

[burn_your_money]

That's sweet dude. What is the new project? :D

[vwcrazykid]

That's sweet dude. What is the new project? :DI'm really into older aircooled vw's.I'm thinking of a full restore on a type-3 fastback or notchback with a engine swap

[burn_your_money]

OH wow. That is awesome. Old to me is MK1 lol. I love the real old ones though. They are so classic.
What would you do with your turboed car? daily driver?

[Getta8v]

who made your manifold for the k26? or are you using a modified manifold off the audi 5000?

[miamiDaveGLi]

:D lol what happened to the pic of your turbo lol

[burn_your_money]

:D lol what happened to the pic of your turbo lol

I was thinking the same thing :lol:

[MKIIVR6]

I see a terrible looking acura with some sort of wood frame as a wing. :cry:

[vwcrazykid]

who made your manifold for the k26? or are you using a modified manifold off the audi 5000?I modified the stock audi turbo mani me and my dad are certified welders so we do everything in house for next summer we plan on building a chopper hopefully if we both have the time.
As for the picture the site I was hosting my pics on went down and will upgrading the owner put up those crappy integra pics :cry: I will host them on my server and take some pics of how I chopped off the 5th runner and welded up the mani for getta8v and anyone else planning to run this setup

[2002maniac]

we do everything in house
Dude, my mom would kill me if I did that in the house. My rule is; no welding outside the garage :P
