I was just about to post the same question.

Also, would a VW 1.8L turbo be good for a Z6 setup???

i would not use the 1.8t unit! go with an eclipse unit for street use if you plan on track use or low times you need to re-work the motor and go with a larger turbo! give us more info about what you want to dO!

Thanks for all your help...i think im leaning towards the greddy turbo kit. I have a question to ask...

Say that im a really good driver...and i have a 92 hatch cx (stock w/ no ac &gt;:D) w/ a d16z6 (stock) and with that greddy turbo kit...and im rolling on azenis...how fast do you guys think i can hit within a 1/4 mile? With the highest boost possible for a stock z6?

Ive been told that the stock clutch starts to give up around 7 psi. I don't have any times yet on mone, but Ill let you know...Id expect low 14s at least at 7 psi!

EDIT: Forgot to add that Im running the Greddy kit...good kit except for the instructions and shitty *** air filter they send with it...Im definately replacing this thing!

what's wrong with the filter that it comes with? also, even with the bad instructions, is it pretty easy to figure out what goes where? TIA, i'm about to buy this kit from a fellow h-t'er as soon as he gets back to me.
