I have a 225 tt and about 1500-2k to spend for some mods, All I have so far is giac-x chip, ceramic pads. Would love to hear what I should do next from those of you who have modded tt's or just general knowledge about them.




thanks

 

Save your money! I have spent close too $3,000 on Mod's and if I had known what I know now I would have gone straight for the Big Turbo upgrade for the same price.
I mean with all the modifications for a little HP here a little HP there it really is not worth it. Believe me I love my TT but I had spent way too much on Mods for a little more power which still is not that much. Hell I don't think I'm at 300hp yet and that my friend is sad. Good luck and spend wisely my friend. IMO save the money for the BT upgrade.

 

not going to get to 300hp on a stock turbo.

 

Correct Cincy. If I knew that then, when all this mod crap started I would have gone for the BT Upgrade. For the $3000 I've spent in two years.

 

are we talking crank or wheel horsepower? Chip, DP, Exhaust , Tip is what i'm looking at right now. All of which would be required to go BT anyways... Where would I be with chip , dp, exhaust and tip on my stock turbo..

 

Well maybe and this is a geuesstament!, new word...

265hp to 285hp just a guess. I have not put mine on a dyno yet so just a guess. Maybe someone else can answer that a little with more info.

 

thats where i would put those mods. bhp.

you would need a manifold/turbo specific dp and tip

 

alright, while we are at it, cincy do you know what I'm supposed to be spiking and holding with a GIAC-X file?

 

should be between 18-22 depending on load. Should hold about 18 till about 5k or so.

 

I would upgrade your intercooler, and do exhaust, then big *** turbo upgrade
