That looks lik a turbo from a passat/audi 1.8L motor.
It'* very small for our application, and you will outflow the efficiency range of that turbo very quickly (like just off idle)
How much do you know about turboing a car? If you don't know about efficiency ranges, and sizing a turbo to a motor, then I would suggest doing more research first. Everyone I know suggests this book: Maximum Boost
There are others out there, but that is a good one to start with.

I would really like to know if I could use this with my car and how to do it and stuff so I want to know if the book has alot of info on twincharging or if it even touches on the subject.
I don't really want to read on a book that has nothing to do with the specific idea I'm looking for.
Does anyone know of any sites that have twinturbo twincharging setups or anything with a 3800?
