  • Would any of these Turbos work on a 3.8?????

    Just wondering if any turbos from volvo, audi, volkswagon, eclipses,saab, cummins,powerstroke, duramax or any other stock turbos would work on a 3.8 camaro because i know someone who can get stuff from a salvage yard and say they can get those pretty easily.thanks

    Sure, anything would "work". A turbo is a turbo is a turbo -- simply a turbine, bearing, and compressor, all in different housings, sizes, materials, etc. Each turbo is sized and setup for a particular application, boost level, performance design, lag, etc. XJ (Sam) took a turbo off of some sorta truck, swapped a different something component onto it, and had a turbo that was better suited, i.e. "worked" more appropriately, on his car.

    So anything will work. But nothing, at all, will "bolt" on. Anything turbo related (and not from Tiago's kit, etc.) will require serious welding and fabrication.

      one KO3 or K04 audi is way to small I have 2 K03's for my 3.4 but I realy need 2 K04's.
      for a 3.8 your going to want some thing that can suport 40 lb/min flow of air that is the smallest you would want to go.
