Even if you went with gt28 or any upgraded turbo, you won't see much gain like you would with a new 3" DP and Exhaust, If i could do it over again, i wouldn't have gotten an upgraded turbo when i did, i would have had more while i could with all of the goodies i have now with the turbo. I kinda cheated myself, because now i want to know what i could have done with my Ko4 and my present mods. Pretty much don't get a new turbo unless you have redone your turbo hoses with forge, or samco brands. A stage 1-2 remap, DP, Exhaust and BC/DV. You will love your car at that stage, then when you get the turbo get a FMIC, Remap, Injectors.

 

^ see, i dont have a k04. and the exhaust was a meh mod for me. if i would re-do everything, i wouldn't even chip the car. for the money i threw down on the stupid VTDA, exhaust and chip, i wouldve invested towards a t3s60.

the k03 does it's job, but it's nothing worth bragging about. yes, i would be 'content' with a 225/k04, but oh well i'm stuck with a 180 TTQ. i'm not really into big numbers, but rather a response *****.

 

well just do the k04 swap with DP, Exhaust.

 

why spend the money on a k04 though?

 

cause he doen't want to go big turbo??? I say just go bigturbo regaurdless you have to get the damn setup from the 225, so just go big or don't do anything at all...

 

^ lol k04...

if im keepin the TT then ya, ill go t3s60 down the line. and besides i see your point, but a 3" TBE was a given when i'd go BT. lol.

 

Im sorry Kiva, but i find it hard to belive you have 295btq with a ko3 with no ic or meth. Most ko3s dynos only put out 230wtq with all the bolt ons. You would be putting down 265wtq if doing it in fwd also. A 30wtq difference (using 15% loss) is a strech.

 

^ the liquidTT lies!

 

The hp numbers actually seem about right, but the tq numbers are high. Not really going to get an accurate number unless you do a full pull on completely flat road. However it still should give an idea of added gains between mods which is where it should be more useful.

 

I think it's was no higher than 230hp & 250tq. (Revo says = 260hp & 280tq) I was taking to apart today to change the spark plugs & I notice I have some lines are ripped/broke... sigh.
