hey guys!
Ive been looking at getting the greedspeed e05 turbo kit but ive heard alot about the gt28rs. Whats the scoop? Your input would be greatly appreciated

 

how much horsepower are you looking to make? What's your budget? What are your current mods?

 

eo5 will make another 15-20whp and 20-30wtq over a ko3 with basically the same spool. Kind of expensive however for what you really gain. A RS will be able to put down 300whp/wtq with the right setup.

Goals and budget would help

 

I just bought a bone stock 2002 a4 and im really lookin to around seven grand into it. Hope that helps!

 

but how much power are you looking to make? If you just wanna swap turbos and gain a little more over the stock turbo, then an e05 is fine, but if you are looking for a good powerband with more power, you will need something bigger (gt28r, gt28rs, t3 60trim).

 

im looking to go big

 

This isn't rocket science, if you want to go BT you can get the APR Stage 3+ kit (might be out of your budget with supporting mods) or one of the Eliminator kits form Ecode Tuning (GTRS Eliminator or GT71R Eliminator) and call it a day.

You will still need:
Exhaust approx. $1000
Intercooler approx. $1000
TIP approx. $300
DV approx. $100
Boost guage (would be a good idea) approx. $150

You may also want to invest in a suspension (approx. $1000) and brakes (as low as $200 if you get HP2 calipers) if you don't have those already.

Congrats, you just spent about $7000 and your car should be completely different (engine wise). You can score some of this stuff used and you still need to pay for installation unless you are doing it all.

For the record, Greedspeed E05 kit is a gigantic waste of money

 

Not tryin to thread-jack, but would a euro-side intercooler be sufficient for one of the Eliminator setups?
