Just wondering, any room left in there for a couple turbos, or a super? MMWWWAaaaahahahahaah!

Anyway, great work...
Might be able to do a SC but no way to do turbos because the only place they could sit is outside of the engine bay.


This is the 3rd V8 conversion done on a B5.

You could remote mount a turbo where the resonator would go. If you made a kit of sorts I would probably have to buy one.

If you're crazy enough to do this swap, you just might be crazy enough to do the remote turbos... it's madness, I tell you.... MADNESS! lol

IIRC it was Oettinger and was about 10 years ago.

Looks like quality craftsmanship dude, nice work; especially on the mount brackets.

A bigger V8 is always the way to go!

That is awesome. Well done, sir.

BTW, and sorry for the jack, but has anyone heard anything further on Siena's project?
