http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...0119997875&sspagename=STRK:MEWAX:IT&viewitem= what are your thoughts. anyone have any experience with this turbo
heard of them, but can't remember good or bad. that is an interesting design tho. with the wastegate integrated onto the exhaust housing in that particular location....
^^negative, it belongs to a member on iwsti, just for a rough size reference for that kind of price, go with a authentic garret 3076r is what I would do or maybe even one of new ball's turbos from precision or the sexy Tial housing...all in all, go rotated
^^yup... I agree with Coolrex. Stay away from them. It's a cool design, but stay away. I think there's a thread comparing the spool characteristics of them somewhere that was discussed recently.
ATP as a company is very good. They are one of the Master Distributors for Garret turbos. That turbo you are questioning is a bad design from what I have read. For that type of money, I would get a rotated kit with one of the new billet wheel Precision Turbos
Like I said, I started in your position. pEd made the good point of do it right the first time. By the time you upgrade again and have to get a retune, you'd have been much better off pulling the trigger from the beginning. Granted...I bought a freaking bazooka hnoes:
Well the kit you have posted is $2499....Matt's kit starts in that neighborhood and you get a new up pipe and downpipe Intake - 200 Downpipe - 250 Turbo Inlet - 200 Up Pipe - 270 (For Ext WG) Turbo - 1500 Ext Wastegate - 350 That will cost you more than one of Matt's rotated kits plus you wont have the potential for anything bigger. I honestly wished that I went the rotated setup to begin with. Live and learn I guess. If you are working next weekend I can swing by and let you drive it. I will be in your area.
that would be awesome if you could come by and let me check it out. i will be working all next week. just let me know when you can come. i had planned on talking to matt about his set-up. i will give him a call soon. i am just waiting on my tax money before i get to serious about getting anything
We're suppose to start on mine next weekend. I'm using the 58mm billet, you can come check it out before it goes on if you want...I'm getting the entire kit plus a few extras, so you can see everything Ball has to offer. I'm only about 10 miles south of you, so it's not too far out of the way
^^^ sounds great. pm me your number and ill give you a ring and figure out when i van come check it out
GO rotated the first time. If not, you will always wish that you did. Trust me, been there and done that. Plus, if you compare the cost from going bone stock to a stock location turbo upgrade, the cost difference in minimal when compared to a rotated set up. And even if you do have a DP or intake, etc, you can always sell that stuff to help pay for the rotated kit.
