Pulled an Audi Turbo at Junkyard

Now... Would it be worthwhile to drop that into my FC? I don't know anything about fitting the turbo in, my guess is it'll need custom piping (no idea how to get/make)...


Ideas?

I think you would be better off trying to get the stock turbo to fit. It's sized for our engines and you can get easy access to the parts.

Well the thing about that, is that I got this turbo for $20, whereas I've yet to see any FC turbos left in junkyards (They go fast here)

No clue... It was on a block sitting on the ground beside the FB I was pulling the engine from so I just jacked it for the hell of it :P

It's a pretty small turbo, I'd say it wouldn't be able of doing any more than 4psi, but then again I don't know much about forced induction.

don't bother. i can almost guarantee it's too small. and it won't bolt to the manifold. and you'd need custom downpipe and intercooler piping.
