    ta, i thought he was yanking my chain.
    I'm new to this whole car thing - it's quite fun - i'm learning things everyday. I'll apologise now for the dumb questions that I'm probably gonna be asking later - hehehehe.
    My fella knows some people who would like to tutu with my leggy. Single turbo or something. Just wondering. However the other half wants to stick a V8 in my leggy - CRAPOLLA! Don't know which one sounds the stupidest.

    The V8 is probably a bad option, it would be very difficult to fit it into the engine bay.

    I say go with a twin (fairly big) turbo setup that will let you pull 1.3 bar across the whole rev range. Keep them as small as possible to do that though, the bigger you go the more turbo lag there will be.
