ATP GT28RS is here.

[Mark@VAGWORX]

Well i ordered the ATP GT28RS kit on Monday, and it arrived yesterday.

It's only roughly bolted up at the mo.

I'm still in the process of getting some service bits in, headset, cambelt etc etc.

Still a lot of tidying to do, but making progress.

Here's some pics.

 

[Mark@VAGWORX]

Few more.

WOW! That really is 'Phat'

That turbo is MASSIVE

 

[ibizacupra]

looks handy.
the turbo sticks out the back a long way.... you have enough bulkhead clearance you think to clear?
Hope it fits as well in the engine bay as it does on the engine stand.

Good delivery from them tho.

How do you rate their v-band welding, as some vortexers reported and posted some very distorted weldments.

What are you using to run the engine? mapping or standalone?

The guys fitting the lump don't seem to think they're be much of a problem, but we'll see! DP will obviously have to be modded to fit the MK3, but it's all good fun.

The V Band welding seems to be fine. There is one small area in the top section of the DP that needs a little attention but apart from that, impressed with the kit.

Going to be running standalone, either DTA or Emerald, but haven't decided which yet.

may i ask what kit you order/what came in the kit etc? do i get any ECU software etc?

Just as a comparison...

yours

My compressor nearly touches the brake lines running across the baulkhead on my ibiza, which is'nt dissimilar engine bay size as mk3 golf (same subframe)

Hope it all works out well.

 

[Mark@VAGWORX]

About an inch or so in it i reckon. Looking at the bay, positioning and measurements, the lads don't reckon they're have a problem....lets hope they're right! lol

ATP GT28RS transverse kit. (Not Eliminator)

* Turbo
* Manifold
* DP assembly (MK4 fitment, so will need modding)
* Intake pipe
* Silicon hoses and joiner
* Oil Lines
* Coolant Lines
* All nuts, bolts, gaskets

No ecu software. I'm going standalone so no bother to me.

cheers sir

 

[daveb2505]

so how much did the gt 28 rs kit set you back? and who did you order it through?

 

[daveb2505]

want to do this kit in my mk1 golf, ditching the servo, not sure about other clearance issues yet!

 

[Mark@VAGWORX]

Kit was under £1500.

 

[redcupratdi]

flash alot of kits to choose from which one you going for!

looks v awesome that does what power are you hoping from it?

 

[helms]

thats just crazy, dont rev it when sitting at a pedestrian crossing.. you might just suck the people walking across through the grill and into the turbo !!!! hehe

 

[CaS]

Hang on... do they do this kit in RHD fitment for bolt on to UK RHD Mk4 Golfs?

 

[m0rk]

Nope..... that's why it's going to hit hard against the brake servo

Have they worked out how to get around it yet? LHD conversion......?

he's doing a GTRS Eliminator - totally different unit

 

[myk3]

hey! good install i hope all goes to plan!!!

yep i have an eliminator, its stock location and uses a stock like manifold (atp high flow) and the stock DP (In my case a miltek high flow car and DP)

this setup is much prefered over the eliminator (but a much harder insall!) but now my elim is installed it is allot better than the k03s should be good for around 310 to 320 i think.

i still need to tweek it and get it mapped!

due to the restriction in the hot side the eliminators wont make 350 as quoted i dont think, but its good enough for me!

good luck with this project mate! your good for 350+ bhp

 

[m0rk]

Not a lot of news over how they've overcome the manifold / turbo / downpipe problem yet though.

Moving the brake servo is not easy as your feet do need to be at least on the same side of the car unless you like a flexy pedal
