Can't be done. No turbos in 2.8l. Only supercharger.

Actually it can be done. Pretty quick too on just 9psi of boost.

that's my a4, it's a 98 30v with two GT28/71R turbos. It BARELY fits! Full custom install from the aluminum boost piping to the stainless headers & exhaust.. just a piggy-back ems right now but i'm waiting on a stand-alone system, should fix a few problems. anything else you want to know? i've got a couple more pics of it from the cruise that i'll try and post tomorrow. thanks for the interest Thanks to Blitzkrieg Autowerks in vancouver for the install
