Garrett Turbocharger

I know all 3 of those are good at 2 bar to 7100 rpm's. I am not sure if you can get by with the 3071 without it tapering down by 8k to 24-26'ish psi. I would bet the other 2 can handle that without a problem. I know the 3076 can make 40 psi to 7100.

Pros: good at 2 bar
Cons: tapering down by 8k

I have a 2871R and love it, spool time is great and does pull hard all the way up to 7500. Mine is daily driven at 18-19psi I hit that everyday, i don't know the numbers on that but it feels good.

Pros: spool time is great, pulls hard

I have a T3 on a 1.9TD and it does seem to pull nice.....but there is lag to it...I have to wait till about 2200rpm until i get some spool. The T3 gives a nice pull after about 2.5k rpm. overall I am happy with the T3 turbo.....I havent started turning up the boost yet.....but its a lot more "alive" with the bigger turbo.

Pros: pulls nice, more alive
Cons: has lag
Vehicle: Volkswagen Corrado
Part number: T3

I am running a TO4E on a 2966cc bottom end and the spool up time is good, you don't really feel any lag what so ever... If you look at the bhp curve there is a little dip at 2800 rpm but thats down to the mapping.

Pros: good spool up time, no lag
Cons: dip at 2800 rpm

The engine has to be the best part of the car. The 2.0t has a Garrett GT20 low pressure turbocharger. On all the SAAB boards I'm on. The engine has been the high point in the car. Nobody has had problems with it.

Pros: engine is the high point
Cons: 36 computers cause headaches
Vehicle: Saab

Having driven my 2001 in both modes as well, I would say the top-end gains are where I felt a change, but even then, we're not talking 5-car-lengths in races here, folks. That being said, my K04 works nicely and the torque feels a bit more broad and I am enjoying it.

Pros: torque feels more broad
Cons: gains have been minimal
