russj249 2 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Had my turbo set up today at stealth, had a few issues along the way, including a coilpack that decided to kill 2 cylinders without any warning, luckily Vince managed to get me a new one within the hour, and problem solved.I can honestly say I've never been in anything so fast! It's unreal!! Yet somehow in the pouring rain managed to grip with standard box and diff in 3rd with no spin at all :sManaged 360bhp and 340ft lbs of torque on 95ron fuel. Now its time for 99 fuel and some new Audi TT spark plugs!Well chuffed!I will also be doing a project write up sooner or later when I have time and uploaded all the pics!

michael5556 247 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 You would be pushing it for 1k. Especially for good numbers running safely.And welcome too the cool side Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Thanks everyone, and as for cheap builds, you could do it with Chinese parts for 1k maybe.. I started as a budget build and I can guarantee you can't do it for that with Garrett turbo etc. Plus mapping and any issues, cost me nearly 550 yesterday after blew the coilpack on the dyno plus tuning.

lumoxs 0 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 easily, the parts are readily available. you all doubt it... but it's been proven time and time again. you say run safely, so bolting on a super charger and leaving it like that is safely? not difference to bolting on a turbo.let me just prove it to tou. quite simple!

russj249 2 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I have a spare Chinese turbo if you want it then.. brand new, never been tested or used so I won't be held responsible if it doesn't work or wrecks the engine in theory its brand new so should be ok, but then again, it is Chinese. 150 quid if you want it?

michael5556 247 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Lol you go for it mate, i personally would rather pay more for good quality and watch it last a lot long without problems. Link to post Share on other sites

All ready got the fmic. i can get the custom oil line made up for nout. as well as the FMIC piping.then just remapping. run it at 8/9 psi all day long, no wear on the turbo, no pressure on the engine..... pretty much the same as a "bolt on safe super charger" yes??

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 nope mate if your running it at 8/9 psi you may have to lower the compression on the engine etc and mapping is going to be £300 plus and all the other little bits you never factor in gauges etc bolt on chargers are safe because they are designed to be standalone units and are run at 5 psi with no worries and no more !

I wish you all the best for it and hope it all works out.. and I would love to see the project.What are you doing about exhaust and downpipe? Needs a minimum of 2.5 inch for turbo, preferably 3 inch. I built my own full 3 inch exhaust from turbo back, (inc downpipe) from 3 inch stainless steel, with 1 back box and some 3 inch pipe as my tail pipe, that cost a few hundred quid to do.Also if you need a 3 inch silencer box I have a spare.. I bought 2 so if 1 was too loud I could put another in, but 1 is ok for me. Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 as above looking forward to the thread Even though ive recently fitted a stage 2 Charger setup im already thinking about building a Turbo Motor.I thought about doing this soooo many times over the last year and flogging the charger setup but in the end the noise of the charger and the fact I only want 300ish bhp convinced me to stay charged but mainly the noise !

russj249 2 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 That's not too bad at all then.. should be a nice project how are you with fuel pump and injectors? The cheapest injectors that are suitable for lower boost are the Saab turbo injectors. If I remember correct the code is 0280 150 431? Can get a set of 6 for 60 quid. I've been told a standard fuel pump can handle 280bhp so depends how much power you want really. As long as it doesn't run lean at top end or it won't last 2 mins. Link to post Share on other sites
lumoxs 0 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 im only wanting 260 ish something like that low boost etc! nout too full on... i'll poo myself Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 see I dont see the benefit of a turbo setup over a charger at that sort of power level, inmo turbo for 300bhp plus and charger for anything up to that, just the way the applications work suits those power bands Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Definitely agree with Ben! Even if he is a hater of the mk2! I am aiming for 450 so am going turbo. Anything under 300 might as well be supercharged. You can make 250 from some cams, flow work and a bit of the laughing gas. Link to post Share on other sites
