Crazy 3 cylinder guy is back with some new ideas.

Iam condensing this a bit but I've spent some time understanding the different versions of the b38, b38k (i
and b38x (active Tourer)
What I've found is that there's no reason the regular head can't keep up with the i8.
Biggest drawback is however the absolutely horrible continental turbo which oddly enough is not found on the k or x.
The k and x also don't share the cooling ports and self imploding jackets that are found on the continental.
Imho a turbo upgrade is very much doable and worthwhile but the ports pretty much stop us dead in our tracks.
So ive reached out to a shop in the u.k that would be willing to make exhaust flanges at around 50 GBP.
This would effectively give us an option to use the b38x or b48 turbo grafted on or even anything else that we might be able to fit.
Love to hear some thoughts on this, personally I like the idea but there's a few kinks to work out.
