Yes the kit will run on your K-jet but it won't last long or work well.
Firstly K-jets don't like turbo's but there are ways around that, ie. audi turbo K-jet systems which are rare but can be adapter to your motor. Also lots of other general stuff you can do like a rising rate fuel pressure regulator(which are rare for "high pressure" K-jet systems).
Secondly unless your motor has been recently rebuilt and you plan on running low boost I wouldn't count on your motor being reliable. That said I've heard of people turboing 2L 8v's and rebuilding them with used rod bolts and getting over 500hp.
:twisted:

What I mean is do you have in your hot little hands a 2L turbo kit? Coz if you do I want one too and where did you get it and how much and when and I have run out of questions. I am going to put a turbo on my 2L 8v and any info that is around is good, coz I dont want to shell for a kit from the USA and I dont want to wait for Brian to get in some high mount MK1 manifolds. You picken up what I'm putten down?
