ive got a 1.8 8v, ive seen magazines where people have done turbo conversions themselves on 1600's, i want to know if its possible as these engines are very simular (ive got the 1800 running on 1600 GTE gear) theve used T3 garrets and have had adapters made to house the turbo on the manifold, also all this buisiness about compressions, how would i find out what thickness head gasket spacer i would need to lower the compression.
Also do you know of any places that would help me with these parts? thanks alot Dean :o
