Is this turbo kit even worth getting and what will it give you for numbers with a chip, High flow cat, Manifold, and injectors compared to a K04 with the same setup. Also would a stock tiptronic be able to handle the power with the GT2X setup?

 

no the turbo is not worth it. not because of the power levels you can acheive with it. which is about 30-50whp more than a k04. but because the turbo has seen many failures before. almost all people that i have known with the GT2X has had it crap out on them before 10,000 miles. one problem is that the turbo is only oil cooled. just skip this turbo as an idea.. and search!!!

 

what about the GTRS kit will the tranny hold this with the same setup and what numbers should I see with a unitronics or Revo chip?

 

so the gt2x sucks? i thought i had all my questions answered on the thread i made about turbos and stuff, people compared the gtrs, the gt2x, and the real garrent. if the gt2x really suck then i might as well just find something else. i thought i had it all planed out xD.

 

Depends on what you want, i have been runnig the gtrs now for like 2 years. Revo doesn't make software for the b5 afaik, unitronics does, and i believe ctapp only does tuning for ndbw so looks like unitronics is your only option, i could be wrong though on ctapp, but when he first started it was only for n-dbw cars. The gt28rs will yeild a bit more power and yes the tranny is fine, good for mikes 10.63 @135 so im sure its good for your possable 300whp

 

Iwould definately get a k04 over the gt2x, but if you want more power then the k04 i would get the gtrs elim. First i dont even think anyone has a specific tune for the gt2x, the k04 has a few different files, and the gtrs has been so popular that there are quite a few tuning options out there.

 

Whats the website for Unitronics I can't find it?

 

he got that w/ the gt28rs?

 

lots of confusing posts in here. let me try to fix them

no, he was not corilating the gt28rs with mike hoods 10.63 @135 1/4 mile run(which was on a 2.0 and gt35r). he was sayingthat the stock 5speed trannywas good enough to hold up to that run and his600Awhp.

which brings me to the second thing. the original poster is a TIP, which is why he is worried about his trans at BT power.

but masterV, with a GTRS turbo you shouldn't have too many problemswith yourTIP tranny. here's a couple links to some TIP BT A4s with no problems..
