Bigger turbo or uprate internals?

(1/4) > >>

Hurdy:
Which ones would give a more balanced car?

Uprating cams, boring out pistons to 2.2ltr, flowing/altering head (would you get more power from changing to the S3 head?)

or

Bigger turbo.

I'm not particularly interested in the car having oodles of power, I'd want the car to have balanced power at both ends of the rev range.

Is one more expensive than the other?

Should both be done?

Any guru's out there, share your wisdom! 8)

Uprated Internals FTW.

Bigger Turbo = More stress on current parts. Lag and possibly DSG issues.
Uprated Internals = Stronger engine. Better suited to cope with the current power loads thus reliablity and a bit of extra oomph.

hurdy, put it down and walk away slowly!

if you want stupid power, sell the ED30 and turbo an R32, or even twin turbo  :evilgrin:

Don't think that I'm not thinking about it :laugh:

VC:
from my very little understanding of cams though doesnt if force where the torque/power must be?

ie you either have cams that focus on the low end OR the top end, there's no happy medium with it, therefore depending on cam choice will determine the best mods to compensate the loss at one end of the powerband?

edit: loss is the wrong word, no gain in comparison or less of it what i was trying to say
