I am thinking about getting a T3 turbo with a new manifold, injectors, software, ect... my question is: do i need to buy a new 3" downpipe for that turbo, or will my techtonics 2.5 be fine bolting up to it? will i have to get a new high flow cat as well if i do? thanks.

 

depends on what kind of turbo your getting if it will match up with the 2.5 one you already have. 2.5 is fine for a t3t4 its what i ran. 3.0 would be best. running a test pipe or no cat would be best

 

i have emission checks here, so that wouldn't work to well. the t3 should be fine on my 2.5 downpipe though?

 

^^^ ol a test pipe is no cat. i think he means test pipe or highflow cat

 

yeah, im saying i can't get a test pipe.

 

you're the guy i met at RMR a few weeks back aren't you? you were talking with the kid with the apr stage 3 A4 when me and my buddy dave came up and was looking at his engine bay..

but what specific turbo are you looking at? unless you get a eliminator turbo(71r or GTRS) by ATP, nothing will bolt up to your stock HFC

 

yeah that was me, haha, crazy. did you race that night?

here is the turbo im looking at. unitronics could do the bt file for me, but im trying to figure out the whole downpipe and cat part of things.

what do you recommend?

 

no, i ran ***** to the wall strait piped and 24psi on racegas the time before that night. so i was good. just watching everyone else that night..

but i recommend anything Garrett. for starters.. but i wouldn't recomend that turbo actually. just too much work, DP, tuning, wastegate issues.

but what are you looking at for power? 1/4 times? such like that?

 

yep, 1/4 mile time is all i really care about.

 

i dont wanna spend a hella ton of money for the bt setup, thats why i thought this way would be good because the turbo is cheap.
