Hey thanks Justin! Yeah, the 8V N/A to turbo swap intrigues me. I've already talked with a local machinist about drilling and tapping in the turbo oil feed fitting and a threaded hole for the knock sensor. A question if you know: if I did turboize an 8V n/a, would it be best to keep the n/a head as is? Or perhaps swap the exhaust valve shims and cam over from the turbo head? You mentioned piston quality. Is there that much of a difference between the turbo and the n/a pistons to be concerned?
Yes, I do have an intercooler already and I would have the APC functioning as per spec. Water injection is something I've been eyeballing as well, so between all those saftey features, I shouldn't have a problem running at a higher boost. And I do live in CA, which is why a 16V conversion might prove very problematic. I'd just as soon buy the 16V equipped car and restore it rather than deal with state.
