    There are lots of old Kjet turbo cars that you could use parts from. The Ferrari F40 was a Kjet Turbo

    Another option would be a blow through carburettor set up (probably mentioned already). The original Lotus Esprit Turbo used twin Dellorto's being blown through.
    how do you mention my 2 favoritest cars o all time in the same post??

    the esprit turbo was brilliant aswell - back in the 70's, 225hp from a 1.9 inline 4, in the perrrrrrfect body. gives me those man feelings... sheesh.

    i do agree though, plenty of k-jet forced induction production cars were made, and its a matter of adapting the system to your needs i suppose.

    yea, but finding the right porsche parts. remeber they have porshe written on them, which would make them quite expensive, one would think.

    the volvo parts you might be able to get at a wrecker, and maybe audi stuff, but more than likely specialist wreckers would have the parts, and charge a premium, cause they can.

    imo, standalone like a mircotech LT8 would be the go. it'd be cool to have a kjet set up, but easier and possibly [or probably?] cheaper to do stand alone

    Very correct, ovlov and Audi's both had Kjet turbos.

    Old Saabs had a slightly different but in some ways similar turbo injection setup, can't remember what it was called something like L jetronic or some variant(think it was half electric). Don't quote me on this one, memory is sketchy.
