the clutch is stock and it doesnt do so well when i am in boost, i will give it a week before it gives up on me, so i need a clutch (looking into it now) oh and traction is not a problem, its the holding on to the steering wheels thats the problem..... that bitch pulls

It is strahge, but true. I made more TQ than HP on my run, it was like 160whp/175wtq....The power cures looled like diesel engine's.

Would the t28 be a good alternative or is the t25 good enough?

 
Rep Power: 281

I've heard the T25's don't really make to redline something like 5000 rpms and our cars make power from 4000-6300 something in that range. Thats why I was thinking possibly the T28 might be a better alternative.

look at my graph, u can clearly see that t-25 pulls all the way through 6k, thats my max peak hp

 
Rep Power: 281

BoostedVik makes a good point I think the T25 would be good enough for me. Do you have the ball bearing or regular turbo?

 
Rep Power: 0

ball bearing is a better choice cuz it has less turbo lag, the turbine shaft spins a lot faster and friction is less of a problem. in other words it spins faster quicker

The next question is would you guys re route your piping like Aznchinksta did so you can make right turns w/o the pipes rubbing?

Small turbo at work, whats the specs on the turbo in the kit?

And to go into the T25 and T28 debate... its a bit of a misnomer... you can call them both T25s if you want to get technical about it, its a trim thing. The 28 has a bigger cold side than the 25 so it flows a bit more air, but they're not much different in actuality. in the garrett GT family, there's actually 2 GT28Rs, one is in the GT25 family (2560R) and the other is in the GT28 family (2854R), the only difference is the A/R of the hot side.
Bigger difference is in the BB vs journal bearing setups... the BBs spool so fast its not funny. My car will make full boost in the lower gears almost instantaneously. A T25 should be more than capable of supporting 250-275 HP easily. Its a drivability turbo, it probably wont continue to build power if you start maxing out the boost on it, but at a few pounds of boost, it should be able to keep up.

nice numbers bro... maybe i can get aride in next time!...ttyl

No problem, next time i see you we will go for a ride

nice numbers, congratz on the turbo.

 
Rep Power: 281

Michalo quick question I remember you told me you had srt4 injectors in your last turbo setup. Can your stock fuel pump handle the flow or did you have to upgrade to a walbro or something like that.

Whould you happen to remember specs for TSI t25 turbo?

 
Rep Power: 0

does anyone konw a website for tsi or maybe a phone number i need some parts from them!

 
Rep Power: 0

Compressor trim 60, 42mm and turbine trim 62 53mm

i think!!!

 
Rep Power: 279

bb really doesnt make a difference in such a small turbo already...starts spooling so low already...

more pictures overall? i have a tsi kit laying around here, all i need is to buy is emanage + pnp...we shimmed the wg actuator to hit somewhere like 6-7psi and its all in the tune...im also using the tsi piping to run the cold side but im doing custom piping on the hot side like aznchinksta, just cause it looks cleaner and flows better...+ dave @ whip factory is tuning mine...


this gives me hope

i am actually really intrested in re-doing my pipes like aznchinksta, i just wanted to know what he actually used as far as custom piping

 
Rep Power: 279

well...if you wanna stick with the 2" pipes just get some 2" piping, probably need 1 U-bend and a 90degree...shouldnt be too hard

 
Rep Power: 300

ok im lazy and didnt read everything. y only 5psi?

 
Rep Power: 0

5psi for now, once i get my self a boost controller i might go up to 9psi

probably? in other words, u dont know exacly!
