It overspeeds if you pop a boost hose...Why do you lose a vklr if you pop a boost hose?
Does it matter? Result is sameWho made it? I imagine Avd , Finturbo or Oleg in Spain.
Hi Guys, unfortunately my circumstances have changed and will no longer be fitting the turbo. It is now for sale, please PM me for details if interested.Turbo arrived this week, will fit at the end of the month and report back on driveability.
HI,I dont even like spool on the 2260....much less a 2560. I i,agine its good for 3500-5500. And really big numbers...but down low...disappointing and poor mileage.
Big turbos suffer from massive MPG loss. The energy it takes to drive the turbine is prodigious. Light footing a big turbo will only result in unnecessarily low mileage...unless you take all the fuel out of the tune....along with the driveability. There are small to medium turbos that are the best of both worlds depending on your ultimate goal...but a big one for mileage I wouldnt consider. For instance, one of my ALH cars with GTB265vk goes like a scalded cat when spooled, but when driving easy, it struggles to get 35-40 MPG I really have to work at it. Driving faster, actually improves mileage some...but there is still a point of no gains. WHen using a GTB2060vklr, I gained 8 MPG with all other tings the same. I ahve recently been installing the GTD series turbos. I highly recommend those for mileage and power.HI,
I know most people who go for big turbos don't necessarily drive for fuel mileage but , just curious, have you ever run the car on a long highway trip at legal speeds ? If so, what kinds of MPG were you getting?
I know bigger turbos down low are laggy ( is it possible to even describe how laggy compared to stock?)
BUT I can put up with a little lag for more cruise MPG's (I mainly drive long distance highway).
Thanks
Andrew
We got +38bhp with simple pump voltage mod with 11mm. Same things can do with 10mm.
We now run our 600kg class compact diesel tractor puller with 11mm pump and 0.320 nozzles. Those fuel levels can spool our turbo with 60mm compressor wheel. And that 60mm is not compressor exducer like gtb2260vk, it is size of compressor inducer!
Lol Bobby, i hope you are not right on this one , it would be really sad.
I went back to journal bearings and pretty happy how it goes. No smoke, no oil on exhaust or intake. Solid AF!

Speeds between 70-85 highway. And yes, I feed the GTD series would be even better. I dont have GTD's in my own cars yet...but I have istalled a few for others. They seem to perform very well.HI,
When you said you gained 8MPG when using the GTB2060vklr at regular highway speeds ... what speeds are you typically running at ? Would the GTD series net even more MPGs ? I have heard of some people getting pretty good MPGs at 70+ which is why I ask (even better than me so maybe a bigger turbo can get good MPGs if one an resist running hard?).
Thanks
Andrew
