RE: New Topic "BT upgrade"
Cool, i'm reading there turbo tech 101-104 now to better understand it. I just wanna save for something wicked. I want it to be fast enough to be unexpected by others that think these cars are slow or girly

couldnt you just get a BT and assume youll have an mbc and then you can just turn down the boost and have a daily driver and when you want the whole vroom vroom thing going on just turn up the boost?

because driving around with a turbo that hits 20psi @ 4k and running 280whp is not fun. driving with a turbo that hits 20psi by 3300rpms and making 300whp is better if thats all you want.

Look up some Golf, Jetta big turbo kits a 1.8t is a 1.8t, (www.eiptuning.com) now I know that not all of them are the same but for the most part a big turbo setup on any 1.8t is going to give you an idea if you want more info. Its all about lag, if you want huge numbers there has been a 1.8T that has ran over 700 hp on a single turbo setup and only 1.8L of displacement but the lag on those kinda numbers are going to be crazy. Your talking not feeling the full spool untill 6000+ rpms. Bob Q is the one who made those numbers, and it took alot of $$$. You have to decide what you want, then stick with your plan. Myself I want a daily driver, which makes good amout of power, that is safe and reliable. A car that is quick in town light to light, but when I take it to the 1/4 mile it will run mid or low 12's. Once I reach that I will be happy.
