The t3s60 will be at 20psi right around 3k
the 50trim .48 will start making boost around 3k and full boost before 4k
the 50trim .63 add 400rpms.

 

ive been lookin into a BT and bascially a t3s50 would be the best turbo upgrade right? i was talking about what turbo i want to start serioulsy looking into with my friends the other day and this type of turbo actually came up but im not too good with turbos. anyway, if money is not an issue would this turbo be a good choice, or if i have the funds should i go bigger then that??

 

The t3s60 would fit between the gt28r and gt28rs in power and spools up like the RS. It you think that is enough power, than thats your turbo, if you want more power than that, get the .48 50trim.

 

you have a 20 valve. its 5 valves per cylinder. if you had a 5 valve 75% of your cylinders would even have an exhaust valve lol

here's a link for an atp knockoff- http://eurocustoms.net/oscommerce/ca...products_id=89

same thing as atp only cheaper


and you will also need a new intake, maf, injectors, dp, tune, fuel pump, dv/bov, mbc, and fmic.

 

you might want to continue researching before doing such a swap based on your knowledge of your car, no offense or anything, and not to discourage future plans, but i see your at least trying to learn by coming here. gl.

sry not enought time to creat a real pic! gtg to class!

 

so around 270 or so awhp? or did you mean awhp?

i've heard of vw guys making 270whp on the t3s60, but that was with older revo software.

thanks cincy.

 

You can make 270-280awhp on basically a stock engine and boost. WIth some w/m or race gas you should be able to reach the 300awhp mark. People with fwd can make 300fwhp on pump and boost alone. People with a AEB should start seeing more gains over the ATW/AWM when the power starts increasing. This is a great streat turbo for anyone looking for a mild upgrade for a reasonable cost. It has little lag and safe for stock engines. A gt28rs would make more power when pushed, but thats why gt turbos are over $1k.

 

a4_shift, dont mean to discourage you, but I dont think this is a job for you yet.. I mean your valve question shows it. Just start out on something small, like exhaust or even a mbc and do lots of research

 

its all good yea im trying to learn, and i got some money saved up close to 4 k but i am gonna ask for a spot/loan from my pops and i would rather upgrade big now instead of little by little which will cost more at the end. and im takin my first auto class next quarter. lol. and of course i am having someone do it for me, me and my uncle just installed my godspeed intercooler and that pretty much all the hands on work i have dont thus far, besides the spark plugs oil changes and all that bullshit. i just wanted info on all the parts i needed in order for my engine to not blow up. =/

 

oh yea thanks for the knock off exhaust manifold i was ready to buy from atp for close to 350 and 400 for shipping and handling! thanx for saving me some money! anyone live in bay? i would to learn from audi lovers all my friends are into evos and jdm imports.
