hi all new to turbominis not new to minis , have been collecting parts to do a 8v bmw k head conversion on a 998 , but want to go down the turbo route , i noticed that most of the k head turbos are 1275+ but is it the same for 988? and would i be better getting the dished pistons ?

Hmmm,

I think there is an issue with the bore size being too small on the 998, or maybe thats the 850....

Paul S on here was looking at doing one a while back so there should be a thread on it.

gt 15 then,

also you'll easily get 100hp, the 8v makes about 100hp on a 1275 without a turbo, with about 8-10 psi I'd expect 130hp at least
