Which Big Turbo - Any Ideas

<< < (2/3) > >>

I have AEM with mine. You ideally want a progressive controller (stage2) as it feeds the w/m gradually.

You can notice the difference with abit more timing added (Revo)

james:
are you getting your engine rebuilt then?  you must have a bwa/axx  the max is around 380.

Your need new rods so fact that into your budget :drinking:

400bhp is more than enough for FWD also :happy2:



I would buy mods like LSD WMI Good brakes shock setup.   what is your current setup?

Jabarton99:
Hi, I've already had the rods and pistons uprated as I knew I would eventually want the big turbo so when they changed the vvt chain I got them to do it then. Just want more power really. Suppose as you get use to the power the more you want.

james:
what sort of power you looking for?  might as well go awd.

I could spin mine up in 4th


Try WMI before you go big turbo.

I can vouch for how quick James is. Spinning the fronts in 4th in the dry. Mental  :driver:

The problem with big turbo is you lose lots of low down power and if caught out in the wrong gear, can be seriously laggy. That's why Hurdy has been put off, even with a 4WD Golf R  :surprised:

I just remember Jeremy testing that 400bhp Evo on Top Gear and getting overtaken by a 1.6 Fiat as the turbo was so laggy.

Seriously though, 380-400bhp and a flat power curve like James's would be quicker on the road than some big turbo setups. Remember it's not peak power, it's the power curve and delivery
