Re: 8V NA to turbo (conversion). OE fit parts only Posted by Landjet [Email] (#16) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Landjet) on Thu, 12 Oct 2017 15:17:54 In Reply to: 8V NA to turbo (conversion).

You can take a 8 valve turbo manifold and fit it to where a 8 valve NA exhaust manifold is, but the 16 valve manifolds won't fit on an 8 valve head.
There are many changes / parts swaps you need to make for converting a 16 valve block to a 8 valve head configuration. We did this swap, it blends well together, but you have to have a real collection of parts to interchange, and it becomes a mutant.
Finding an 8 valve turbo exhaust manifold that isn't cracked is one of the parts challenges.
