You can do almost anything as long as you got enough money.

As for putting on the turbo and oil cooler, yes you can. It won't be a straight bolt on. You'll need customise the install to your vehicle.

You'd be better designing a turbo setup for your car from scratch.

Start with the outcome.

How much power do you want?

Research the internet like crazy that will match your expected outcome.

Then find the resources needed to make it happen and take massive action.

i'm not looking for power to drag i want more power throughout cause i prefer to drive around 200k's + and i would like to use the kkk26 turbo whitout making a dent in my wallet.the car has no problem reaching topspeed but it would be nice if it was more responsive throughout the ref range.

The kkk26 is used in 4 cylinder engines. It's going to be maxed out very quickly on the 6 cylinder engine. The effort in getting that installed and working could be more than designing one from scratch, cause you may need to deal with inherent problems the audi kkk26 brings. You don't need extreme power for drags, but if you know how much power you want, you need to spec everything accordingly, does that make sense?

If you want power throughout the rev range, maybe a supercharger would be better suited to you. Turbos will generally have some lag.

thanks for the info raima.yes that does make sense so i think i will look at a supercharger then

Raima is correct about the kkk26 being too small.

If you're after cheap FI power a CT26 off a Mk3 Supra should do the trick or an Eaton M62/M90 supercharger.

There's going to be a fair bit of fab work either way.
