As some of you know....I've been posting pictures from the guy in Brazil who did this twin turbo modification on the pre facelift S8....now he just completed it on my friend's Luiz's (we have emailed each other quite a few times) pre face lift S8....
He had the twin turbo mod performed, plus he had similar brakes put on the front as compared to mine....
He just got the car back.....here is his report:
Dear Paul,
Greetings!
I went yesterday to São Paulo in order to get my car. It is finally ready.
Drove 400 kilometers of road full of curves downhills and uphill.
Adrenaline is still in full force until now.
You have no idea what is to drive 500 horses and almost double of the torque
that I had before, and brakes that really take care of their duty. It is unbelievable.
It is impossible to describe, you have to try it for yourself.
Come down to see me any time starting from now. Your kit is ready and waiting for you, and the price is US$ 6,000,00 only.
regards,
Luiz
So should I do the twin turbo mod???????

What does a rebuild cost if/when the motor goes KABOOM?
I used to race an Eagle Talon. 2.0L, 450hp! The motor could take it, the rest of the car couldn't. At the time (early 90's) the Honda scene was just starting to flourish. I remember the Honda guys running turbos and constantly grenading their motors. An engine that comes stock with a turbo has so many things internally to handle the extra heat/pressure that it is really hard to slap one on and have it be reliable. Oil squirters on the piston skirts, timing retard/knock sensor, lower compression, etc. all come into play. Grenade a Honda motor, no biggie. Grenade one of these motors, and you're what $5k+ for a rebuild?
