Randomly found myself back on this thread again so I thought I would tie it up for anyone else that looks to go down this route with the P1 T5 engine's
Doing the K16 upgrade needs quite a few additions I will split them out from essential for running the turbo to also the ones that will are really needed but not vital to the upgrade.
Needed for the Turbo to run
- Larger injectors 550cc or higher
- 3" Downpipe (Although you might as well make the whole system 3" then)
- 3" Adapter hose from turbo to intake if you are still running the OEM intake pipe
Advisable
- Block mod (Liners)
- Forge Rods / Pistons if planning on running above 350bhp (quite a few builds have broken rods after having K16 installed)
- Volvo S60R Clutch kit
- Focus RS MK2 Oil Cooler
- Uprated fuel pump
- Limited slip diff
- uprated plenum
- Performance intercooler
