Just to let you all know, I haven't forgotten about these turbo kits, there is light at the end of the tunnel, and I hope there will be some juicy photos for everyone very soon!
In the meantime, I have been getting asked what sort of power to expect from the different GTB Turbos, so here is a quick table I knocked up:
The '
Boost' Column is what I would consider the max safe boost to run through the turbo.
'Full Boost @' is an estimate of when the Turbo would be producing full boost. What needs to be remembered about the GTB range of turbos is, that as they have the 3rd Generation VNT system, they actually start to produce boost much lower down and can maintain it higher up too with reasonable EMPs.
The
'Max Power' Column is what seems to be the maximum
safe power that can be achieved from the turbo. I know people have achieved slightly more, but I am aiming for reliable and usable power, EMP's and EGT's on any of the '17' frame hybrids will be WAY above what even the smallest GTB1756VK will allow at any given power level.
The GTB2265Vk Hybrid has yet to be fully tested, so those figures are currently an educated guess. We will be doing back to back testing on all the turbochargers as soon as possible!
If anyone disagrees with the information, please let me know and I will correct it.
There has also been a lot of questions about the size of the wheels in the GTBs compared to the other popular TDI VNT Turbochargers, so I have compiled a bit of information:
Again, if anyone disagrees with the info, please let me know. It was very difficult finding some of the wheel sizes so I hope they are correct!
Spaces are filling up fast for the first 10 GTB Turbo Kits!
Thanks
