legvw 0 Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 But whats the differance between the Garrett 60-1 and T67? The T67 is quicker spooling, and higher hp? Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I think the T67 will be laggy on a VR6. 67mm inducer wheel compared to the T60-1's 59mm.I'd get the T60-1. It's slightly smaller than a GT35R, but will behave very similar. IMO the GT35R is without doubt the best turbo for a VR6, so a T60-1 being very similar is a much better choice than a T67.

Kelster 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 With the T60-1 being only oil cooled, is that a disadvantage over water and oilcooled turbos ? The oil cooled only do you just need to get an oil cooler and a turbo timer to protect the turbo more ? Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yeah with large Journal bearing turbos, it would be ideal to let the turbine slow down before switching if off after a hard run, or just stay off boost for the last couple of minutes of your journey.Oil only turbos have a lot more oil pass through the centre housing than ball bearing turbos, so that in itself acts as a coolant. To be honest, an oil only turbo simplifies the install a fair bit and spool up isn't much slower. Link to post Share on other sites

legvw 0 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Any ideas as to what size wastegate i should use with the 60-1??? Is bigger better?! Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 For low boost, yep. On the T60-1, I'd go with the TIAL 44mm personally. Link to post Share on other sites
