could a kkk turbo off a 306 1.9d be used for a turbo conversion on a sax?

Do you know what kkk it is?

I would have thought it would be ok not ideal though, you'd see alot of torque though just it would run out of puff high end.

All depends on what your aiming for powerwise? and what you want to do with the car ie track or 1/4?

yes you can use it no problem, depending on the engine your using ie westcoast, vtr, vts etc then that will determine when the boost comes in but in most cases it will be low, good for over 190 at the wheels and its a good turbo for a starter conversion (until you know what you want etc)

sorry to hijack the thread, but is there a bolt on conversion that can be done without haveing to use mf2 etc, you know a small low boost turbo system? like what this gent is doing? buy a turbo, have a manifold fabricated and get piping from turbo to throttle body?

Interesting ....i was having this conversation with my mate & next door neighbour earlier cos he wants to buy my management when i go standalone soon ...and ive just taken a KKK off my mates 306 TD cos he fitted a Hybrid and its just sitting there

yeah im going to change fueling too, i thought it would be ok thats where i can get this kkk from due to a hybrid upgrade, im not in a massive rush to get it done either, can i fabricate the standard manifold off a mk2 sax, take the downpipe bit +cat off and add a flange to it or am i better starting from scratch as dya rekon it will be too close tho the alternator etc? cheers
