Are just a few of the companies that have turbo kits out for the A3.
Also, don't forget the superchargers from Rotorex and Jackson racing.
Sure the A3 isn't the all motor monster the A2 is, but I smoked MANY a car when my EP was boosted and putting 271whp on STOCK internals. Not many B's are doing that.

Maybe I should have elaborated more.Yes, there's plenty of turbokits available for the engine. There is however no internals available, so unless you're running a custom setup, you're SOL.
My reference to results being had easier with a B-series means that his costs of swapping and motor aquisition will be substantially less expensive than going the K-Series route. And for the money a K20A3 swap will cost, you can have the a B-series swap producing more power.

My point is for an allmotor application, the A3 is the wrong choice. If you just want to get a decent K and bolt on a turbo kit, you won't be disappointed and the investment for an A3 is nothing compared to other K's out there.

the k20 series out of the 02+ SI is probally not the k20 you might be thinking about ....it has about 160hp so might as well just get a B and save yourself time and money....the k20a2 is the one out of an rsx type s ...and would be a better choice IMHO.
