Turbo Choices - What you think?

[pj1985]

Just spoke to the guy on the phone about the kit. Does not seem to know too much and was very vague. Couldnt give me any real full answers. Said the kit comes with turbo, oil+water lines, fitting kit and induction piping to mate up to the standard intake. He sad te manifold was £200 extra and couldnt really tell me anything about the shifter cable bracket. Said it would be a bolt on upgrade and Id only need injectors a pump and a map to get 400bhp which is what they usually make. He said he would advise changin the internals over 350bhp. I had to push and coax these answers out of him really.

Maybe a good source for parts as they offer an off the shelf warranty but thats about it Id say. Infact Id say Vagworx kit is similarly priced once you include the proper intake, injectors, pump and mani.

ask vagworx for a quote without mani and get a jbs one

Ive asked them on another website and theyre happy to do it without manifold

 

[nogutsnoglory]

how much for?

 

[beattie17]

dunno, i only asked if they could do kit without manifold

I've been thinkin about the pag parts mani with a proper 28RS but mounted the other way so the downpipe does down the passenger side for more room.

This pic is as if you are lookin at the back of the engine.

Then using the low profile 3" vband elbow from ATP to mate up with the rest of the downpipe.

My TIP would either come across the engine like the pic below or i'd relocate the MAF so it sits down where my washer bottle should be. Lookin at that turbo below, which is a larger 3071 the inlet is roughly in line with cylinder 1, which should give me enough room to either get a machine flange or cobra head hose up to the top of the engine.

and what about the rear enagine mount and pipework to gte past brake serve for turbo intake if reversed?

 

[PhilW]

All depends on how far over the inlet sits really, tough to say without trying it. The pic above is of a mk2 bay apparently.

Might see if i can get some measurements from the guy at pag parts to see what the inlet sits in relation to the end of the block (drivers side) then i'll know roughly how much room there is.

Sure i could get one of thse off the turbo bill?

What you reckon, or do you think the turbo sits too low and would foul the mount anyway.

 

[ibizacupra]

I cant say.. if mk2 golf then fighting chance engine mounting is ok, as ibiza is samer style mount. but servo etc next obstacle to clear on rhd car

 

[nogutsnoglory]

Any closer to a decision phil?

 

[PhilW]

Nah not yet, probably wont for a while either. lol.
