BIG TURBOS and things...

(1/3) > >>

chudds:
just had a quick search on here and the only big turbo thread i found was in 2009 so not really relevant now i dont think :/

has many done it? or with the popularity of the ko4 upgrade is it even worth it with pretty much a bolt on kit...

now i understand its much easier to buy a apr bolt on kit but theres a lot of stuff missing for me... such as the option for an external wastage and also the noise..

i have not seen much of the ko4's but they all seem very low key noise wise obviously not performance wise...

i have come for a 1.8 t back ground so big turbos are the kind of norm on there and with the gt turbos the noise is immense

such as this pretty little thing... - not sure how to embed on here... but i want this... can we make a ko4 sound like this...?

DanGB:
Hi ,what turbo do you have currently?

GrayMK5GTI:
Most people avoid it as when you go bigger than a K04 you loose drivability for the pursuit of pub bragging figures.

K04 with water meth, full stage 2+ hardware and a decent custom map will see you 400bhp and 450lb/ft which is more than enough to spin the front wheels in the dry in 4th.

For A FWD car.

For a 4WD car I'd still only go for a hybrid K04/Loba L04XX/GTX2867RS as you still lose driveability as a Daily driver car.

If it is track specific, then the sky's the limit.

I'd also be looking at the CDL block for any of the above as the GTI blocks with big power would not be as strong or as reliable. :happy2:

GTX3071 with the smaller exhaust housing work really well with the TFSi.  Big numbers and nice power delivery.  You adapt to the way the power is delivered.

Strenghtened internals in a GTi block will be fine for up to 550bhp.

LO4XX - well you know what I and other tuners think of that one!  :P

You dont need 4WD to go fast.  Its fairly easy to manage high power in a FWD car with a good setup and linear throttle.
