Wow i sure dont have 1400 to spend on sleeves! Might not go turbo after all D:Dane K20 said:I just did my K20A2 Block, sent it to California to Golden Eagle by the time I paid shipping just the sleeves were 1400.00. 600 for the sleeves, 650 labor and 150 shipping.
Here's a picture when I got it back. Supposed to hold 45 psi.
dont let that scare ya from wanting a turbo. he spent a lot and basicly getting a bullet proof block. by doin that you wont have to worry bout runnin too much boost or not. you can still run the stock block easily at 8psi. money wise you can still build a good setup for a grand even lessFhCRubarb said:

since your looking to turbo your y8 I wouldnt even worry about the sleeves
just keep your pressure and turbo size low and you should be alright, with proper tuning of course
even if you do blow the motor, you will only have to buy another for maybe 600 dollars.... not that big of a deal
