96 audi A4 1.8 turbo conversion
Ive got a 96 1.8l A4 and am looking to convert this to a turbo. your probally thinking why didnt i just buy the turbo model simply because i couldnt afford it and i wanted an audi so i settled with the 1.8l. but now im looking to convert this to turbo. im wondering if there are any threads on this topic i can read, or if there are any turbo kits for this project. ive seen the turbo manifold for the A4 on ebay but a turbo kit would be much easier.

your best bet is to find a lightly wrecked car with a 1.8T.....
your engine has internal differences from the 1.8T. the compression ratio is higher, you don't have the piston oilerd or the fittings to feed oil and water to the turbo. you'll also need both the intake and the exaust manifolds. other parts will also be needed: intercooler, crossover pipe, maf sensor, ecu (your wiring harness may need to be replaced) and all the intake hoses. good luck
