thinking about a new turbo project gtrs?
a 50trim is a very popular setup. It will make what you are looking for a much more. You will sacrafice a little bit of spool (and respool), but it is easier on your rods and a complete setup is usually around $3200. If you know how to buy, it can be had for a few hundred less also
i am just throwing this out im thinking about a gtrs for my audi i already installed a ko4 about a year and a half ago and love the power but i would like more...does anyone have this turbo? i know i would need bigger injectors, fmic, afpr, mbc, and tip. is there any other stuff? whats your opinion on the turbo, and anything else that would be of help? thanks for the help-steve
yea it all started out with a lower budget bt upgrade for me, now im over 13grand deep into it with a stroked motor making over 2Liters. Have fun. it always cost way more than expected and alot of people on here will tell you its cheaper than it is. This is with doing all the work myself except for machining and buliding the shortblock. Now im even moving from the t3/t4 to a 35r... You think you'll be happy with the power but you always want more.

I heard about what happened to your car, on evolutionm of all places. Im scared to hear what happens with you driving a 35r. I hear you on the cost, it never stops growing. But you will love a stroked engine. Just keep the c/r above 9:1 and you will have a good DD even out of boost
I drove my car on the street all the time with a 2 liter GT35r pushing 20psi back when it was my daily driver, did that for 3 years even got 30+ mpg on the fwy. It is not nearly as bad as you think it would be.
Yeah ill probably go with the elim setup since its fairly cheap and will fit my budget. Am i looking at about a 3in. exhaust? How does a testpipe do with CEL's. Considering it has o2 bungs in it. Also if i were to go 2.0l where can i get software?
considering what you said you wanted from your car, you arent going to go 2 liter. to answer your question tho, it requres a big turbo file tuned for whatever injectors you are running. unitronics has good software for it. but any software will require extensive tweaking when you get into this territory. for an elim setup 2.5" or 2.75" exhaust is more then enough. you only sometimes get a CEL from the rear O2 sensor due to the fact that there is no more cat. you can put a spacer between the sensor and the pipe to take it out of the exhaust flow, or get your software tuner to get rid of the CEL that way.
edit: if you are considering going big big turbo, look at my post at the bottom of the page here to get a feel for what exactly what is required.
