Stock location big turbo and manifold

<< < (3/10) > >>

KieranM:
I think theses 29 turbos are fairly new and there isn't many people running them so you might struggle to find some info on them. I do remember someone speaking about them on TFSI Tuning fb page.
How much power are you hoping for?

Trying to see if there is any advantage cost wise in using 'bolt' on bits instead of a custom tubular mani and downpipe.

Currently running a 90mm bcs downpipe so want to bolt on a big turbo.

GTX2976R Is just a cast aftermarket manifold. More likely to run into problems with a cast mani than a proper tubular one.

Nortech is still OEM location

It appears that way...

I was originally looking at going with a LO4xx turbo and around 450bph but if a stock location turbo is available that'll go right up to 500+ then that may be the way to go?

You say Nortech is stock location, is that final position of turbo meaning I can maintain the downpipe?
