yeah i'm not denying that, but there will be no oil pressure to lubricate the bearings in the engine

I hear of lots of problems when you put a big turbo on a 1.8T.
really, not exactly common on here?

the only time i've heard of 1.8t's going bang is too much power on standard internals or oil starvation and thats about it really.
