Audi 90 FWD Turbo
I was wondering if anyone has done this? I have seen some Audi 80/90 quattros with 5k or 200 turbo motors swapped into them but I was thinking about welding a tubular manifold and running a t3 turbo to this motor, it does have 8.5:1 compression right? What injectors should I use, and clutch, etc...any input is appreciated, thanks.

what are u thought of matching amount of fuel to an appropriate boost?
what year is ur car? 88-91? if yes, then nobody turbocharged 5cyl 20v on this forum, just recently there was a post (like ~10 posts down) of a turbo 20v, but there are not enough information to be able to tell how it was done.

My car is an '88. It's the 5cyl 10v motor. What kind of aftermarket fuel systems are available for this motor?

Good luck getting a tubular manifold in there, with a turbo hung off the side of it...Makes for one goofy looking, short tube (unequal) length header.
And Skubik is right, if you are talking about the 10v engine, you can't just slap in some new injectors (doesn't use an electrical injector, they are mechanical and driven by a metering head, along with a mechanical air flow meter) and hope it works. Besides, even if you could, you'd have to tune the ECU. Not a small task...
If you want a turbo engine in your car, do what the factory did. 2.2L 10vt or 2.2L 20vt. The 20vt is about 4-5 years newer, and uses more conventional electronics and fueling, but is 3x the cost of the 10vt to buy, and probably 2x the cost to install. 10vt is dirt cheap, abundant, easy to tune to a point (250hp or so, with a lot of torque).
