I believe the turbos you'd find on the vw/audi is the KKK K03. They put them on their 1.8 liter engines like you might find on say, an Audi A4. That 1.8 liter is a 20 valve. I put one on a 1.6 8 valve engine and am very happy with the results. What engine are you trying to boost by the way?

i found a nice turbo i might buy, its huge. gm5 i think its the 5.. its off a 6.5L turbo diesel. from the searching i have done. its a t3 flange, and spools up a bit late.. but thats ok in my books. found on another forum, a guy with a b16 running one at 4psi, spools at about 3k and had just a tad over 200whp.
opinions on this turbo?

thats actualy the thread i was reading earlier.. and found the info about the b16 making about 200whp at 4psi. seemed promissing enough for me.. and it didnt spool up that late either. and i want a bit of boost free rpm anyway.

from that thread
Again- WTF are you talking about matt? You can easily have usable boost in the 3,500-4K mark and make good power till redline. A fine example being my friends 1.6 Honda making 220hp at 4psi:
This was completely untuned as well. He has since refined his tune using Chrome and is dynoing 400+ hp on a a little 1.6L engine.
