so im rebuilding. Going single turbo and got my hands on a White Rabbit to do the single trubo conversion.

Questions Questions. Are there stronger internal bits for the engine? Been doign searches and not really finding stronger cranks. What about bearings? what brands are available to me?

The crank is forged as standard so i wouldnt worry about that at all. As for bearings i take it your on about mains and big ends... the standard mitsi bearings will be more than good enough.
But you can get your hands on pistons and rods easily enough, just a matter of £££

wow, keep us updated! Is this the first single turbo conversion on a 8G VR4? or has it been done before?

And it should have select fit mains and shells, make sure you get the right one for the crank, AND plastiguage it to be certain.

Cheers,

Ben.
