[ba] 20v turbo conversion?

[Trevor Frank]

I am surprised Javad hasn't chimed in, but I believe he would echo your
sentiment.  He get's plenty o-power with fewer valves.  Infect give him
the 4k and I think you would be way ahead, with power and your pocket
book.

I don't have any direct experience, but one of my best friends is doing
two of them.  In urQs.  I also helped him do a 4ktsq conversion.  Keep
in mind, I helped, so I don't know all the asnwers.  I am starting
another on my 4ksq.  Personally, as fun as a 20V in the 4ksq sounds, it
is not worth it. After all is said and done, it will be hard to justify
the cost.  IMO.  Best guess, you would have at least 4K$$ into it by the
time you were done. Probably more.  For only a few hundred $$$ you can
get a 10vT.  Why not port and polish the head, throw in a cam, do EFI,
maybe upgrade the turbo and call it good.  Bet you would have a car just
as fast as a 20vT that is chipped (if not faster) for a lot less $$.  My
friends 4ksq is mechanically sorted out.  Without an IC, it will easily
pull with a chipped S4 to around 70 MPH (K24).  The boost is around 8 at
the moment.  Dump in an IC bump up the boost and he will have an
extremely fast car.

Just my thoughts.
