Rare Porsche 944 Turbo K26-8 Turbocharger on 2040-parts.com
Latrobe, Pennsylvania, US
This auction is for rare Porsche 944 Turbo KKK K26-8 Turbocharger. This turbocharger was a factory upgrade from the KKK K26-6 Turbocharger and is a direct replacement fit for a K26-6. The K26-8 is equipped with a larger hothousing than the K26-6, allowing for more exhaust to flow through reducing back pressure, decreasing spool time, and yes more horsepower! This Turbocharger was rebuilt through Lindsey Racing within the last year and has very few miles on it but unfortunatley the shaft was broken during a wastegate failure. The hot side turbine (which is the rare side) doesn't seem to have taken any major damage and could be reused. The cold side turbine (which is the same as the K26-6 turbine) will need replaced which is a easy to find and a cheap replacement. Sold as is.

2014 Audi R8 to drop manual gearbox
Tue, 27 Dec 20112014 Audi R8 to lose manual gearbox It’s reported that the new Audi R8 – due in 2104 after a facelift in 2012 – will lose the manual gearbox option. It’s at least two years before the next generation Audi R8 arrives in 2014, but if reports from CAR are right then Audi’s next sporting flagship will do without a manual gearbox altogether. With all that’s on offer in the current R8 apart from the manual ‘box being the rather poor R-Tronic ‘box, that may seem like a recipe for sales disaster for the R8.
