Don't build an 8V turbo, too much trouble to get the fuel you
need for the power, took me years of working on it to get it
working good, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone

Thanks Wild.
Any advice on headers? I think I will go that route instead.

The best you can do is stainless steel, weld ells and tubing,
schedule 40 thickness and stainless flanges, turbo should be
at least as high as the valve cover to get the oil to flow back
to the sump as quickly as it can

I'm not positive, but I think he meant what headers are good for an 8 valve.
