I have k04 already and have just had the turbo off without bothering to go hybrid... 270ish bhp is more than enough with a map
Depends if you have 2 or 4wd tbh

No its a W8 block with 2 narrow angle v4 heads

VR6 > VR5, then another cylinder is removed and two glued together with pritt stick to make a W8
