Can you slap a turbo in a K8?

1700 euros is quite expensive could get 200 bhp from an engine swap with klze power and that only costs about a grand. good luck with the t-bo. think i will save up for the swap though.
€1300 for a go tech ecu that will allow me to sequntially fire the injetors and a distibutorless ignition and invidual coils again with sequntial firing with launch control etc etc and a 3 bar map sensor so bye bye vaf!

Does anyone have any idea what fitting a turbo does to your insurance?
Cheers guys
Yes my insurance company (adrian flux) want an extra £100 a year for a 50bhp (turbo) power increase on my 1.6 dohc, its worth phoning your broker for sure :)

I'm with Greenlight insurance, subbing to 'Highway'. They've said I can basically do whatever, turbo, nitrous etc same price :) They already know about the ZE. Which incidentally is fooked at the moment. So it looks like I may be turboing my old K8 soon!

A bit of liquid metal on that and it'll be fine :shock:
Seriously that's bad new mate. I've never seen a cam do that either.
Hop you get it back up and running soon.
