BB K26 turbo
 
I just picked up a KKK K26 oil and water cooled turbo off ebay. Ive been looking up on them it appears to be able to flow enough for 250 with a z6, at least thats what i am hoping for. Rumors have it some of the water cooled audi 5 cyclinder k26 turbos are ball bearing and this one was advertised as being so, well see whe n i get it :S Anyone else out here run one of the K26's?

Actually i have one of these K26 sitting in my garage that i was planning on installing on my z6. I picked up a log mani with a t3 flange on it and there is no way they are going to bolt up!!! I'm thinking of a way to let's say " clamp" the turbo onto the manifold using some metal pieces and bolts. As for it being ball bearing, personally i don't know but i have read about it aswell.

T-25 flange...I had an audi turbo that was the same way, looked very close to the one pictured but it was only oil cooled and had a built in adjustable wastegate.

^^^^In that bottom pick, that's the same way i thought of bolting up the turbo to the mani! I'm assuming you're using washers on those bolts to hold that turbo in place?

"port mach the turbo to the T3 Flange" There's not much to do but NICE work! When do you expect it to be running?
