turbos,external or internal wastegate?

[FishWick 21]

A GT3076R is a nice 350 - 450hp turbo mate. With the 0.82 turbine housing.

I would say though that even though the 35R is barely trying at 350hp, it's still a brilliant turbo and will see you through to 600hp no worries.

The thing is, nearly everyone with boost wants more, it's an uncontrollable addiction. Look at Jim, he started off with 10 ish psi, now he's running 17!! It happens to us all.

So personally I always prefer to over build than under build. It's cheaper in the long run ;-)

Kevs right, the more you play and research into turbos, the more you'll learn. I did!

And boost is an addiction, so be careful!! :-)

[craggsy 91]

you will always want more boost

[matty.vrt 120]

Too small.

If you don't know where to start, get a T60-1 if you're on a budget, or a GT35R if you're feeling flush.

I agree with both kev and jim BUT I'm running a t 34 on c2 chip and masaratti's don't stand a chance lol eBay kits are never a great idea but they do set u up with alot of the basic hardware needed ie manifolds down pipe and poss I/c etc

[FishWick 21]

Maseratis are slow. Heavy car with a weedy V8. They always get blown away when they come out of Lancasters and join the A12 :-) Pick on a 997 turbo though or one of the Ferrari 458s and you will have your arse handed to you. VRTs are quick, but they're not THAT quick :-)

i spose its only fair that there are a few cars out there (100k+) that can upsett a 5k vrt, lol

[FishWick 21]

Oh absolutely, it's definititley fun upsetting owners of these cars with ancient Volkswagens :-)

If I can't beat something, I at least like to make it hard work for them to get past, ha ha!

Happened with a guy in an Audi S5 last year. He was irritating me with his tailgaiting and weaving left to right to see if the road in front of me was clear. So after the car in front moved over, I nailed it and left him reeling in a 5 car length lead....but then he caught up again and had to get to a daft speed to get past, which he did, and then slammed his brakes on to take his turn off. LOL! All that petrol he wasted just to get past me and he only just managed it, LOL!

If I was in the S5 and a car pulled away from me like that, I'd think to myself, that's got some feckin grunt, I'm not even going to try.....but some people don't like their egos being flattened....especially by old crusty VWs!

I only run 13psi boost and have the shortened final drive, so past 130mph I start to lose a bit of steam. I am of course referrring to a run up Bruntingthorpe ;-)

[craggsy 91]

I just like playing with expensive metal......dont wanna beat em just stay with em is enough to annoy them

[FishWick 21]

Yeah definitely! Some people lose the plot and have to win no matter what! I let them get on with it!

[gavinvr6 0]

for me it's more fun just to let em know they cant get away. then and only then, if they persist, you push a little harder to prove a point. i only 'race' amoungst friends for fun, at the local air strip of course.

[mikey 0]

I completely agree . It's all about the look on their faces absolutly priceless !!

Question for the FI guys running 300bhp+

what fuel pump are you using?

[CALICO 130]

have you tried reading their build threads walbro 255lph seems to be the one to go for check out the fitting guide in the premium section

[dman78 1]

[CALICO 130]

no worries it is time consuming but i think if you read a few all of your questions would be answered lol

[FishWick 21]

Walbro GSS340 intank + Bosch 044 external.
