Does anyone have a opinion on what 1.8 Turbo's are like in real world comparison against a Kv6 ( Extra boost) ?
There's some nice 120s out there and I thought running K Series Turbo might be a more long term bet versus the KV6 as parts and vehicle knowledge will be more available in the future with K series. I've never raced a K Turbo so would like to know how they stack up.

Don't know much about the K4 Turbo, but this came up in the search feature. Might help.

Not driven one to compare but they seem a popular conversion for some with more pep etc. Probably a well balanced car if sorted properly. Lighter over the driven wheels. Sam will tell you the T16 is a sprightly motor, propels very well even if it is heavier and a lot older. However the V6 soundtrack is hard to ignore.

1.8T in a ZS is brilliant, slightly quicker than a 180 overall but a 180 is quicker off the line but good light engine makes for the handling to be abit swifter in the corners
