Digifant/Turbo
Anybody seen a good technical article or thread on turbocharging a digifant Cabby? Things like which turbo's to use, which manifolds, how much boost, reliability etc. I have read that the digifant system doesn't lend itself to turbocharging like CIS does but I haven't gotten a real clear explanation. I don't think I'm going to go the kit route (too expensive) and I would rather piece it all together anyway. I have had conversations with people about using the early turbo diesel manifolds, turbo's and piping but I know that isn't going to bolt in to a digifant system without some serious issues. All input, as always is appreciated.

my friend has a Digifant II (yes, 1989-1992 stock injection) with a turbo.
I'll ask him how he did it.
Furthermore, I'm working in the same projet for this winter.
There's a shitload of 1.8 8v turbo in my area (About 15)

Just the kind of info I'm looking for. It would be cool if we could assemble a parts list and start scavenging pieces. There is very little performance VW going on this far north. I have come in contact with a couple people in Portland but the response and overall friendliness has been less than enthusiastic.

From what I understand turbo works well with Digi I. Havent heard anything positive about putting turbo on Digi II.
