mr_rbman Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 why do you specifically want a VL turbo (A8) bottom end? my understanding is the non turbo-series 2 (A6) bottom end is identical...

A8 = 7.8:1 or whatever compression ratio ? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/481586-wtb-rb30-bottom-end/#findComment-7943941 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_rbman Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 common myth... basically it's not worth finding a VLT bottom end these days... we don't need to run such low compression and assuming this would be for a build anyway you would get pistons to suit desired compression and just use an NA (A6) block....

I have a series 1 bottom end (so just needs oil return drilled & tapped) if interested?!
