Turbocharger Garrett or APR

Garrett Turbocharger

I had to. my stock turbos started leaking (common issue for Gen 1 EcoBoosts apparently).

Now when I hit the gas at 70 to pass an 18-wheeler, it's all pedal man. She just keeps giving.

Pros: strong acceleration, keeps giving
Cons: stock turbos leaked
Vehicle: Ford

You might of seen my thread about my blown turbo. I'm almost certain my Garrett GT28RS Turbocharger is blown and looking into possible replacements. This is the specs on this one. It flows nice and was really good for my current setup.

Pros: flows nice, good setup

12k+ miles later and the turbo is working great, with a single caveat. Every so often I will get some turbo surge under WOT high boost conditions.

Pros: turbo is working great
Cons: turbo surge under WOT
Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 19312 km

APR Turbocharger

The turbocharger that APR uses is an actual Borg Warner unit that they modify the housing on. We never have to do any modifying of the APR K04 or the downpipe when installing them.

Pros: no modifying needed

They are a good bit larger then the gt2871r you've been running. The twin scroll version- probably not much more lag then you've already got. Just an extra 200 hp.

Pros: extra 200 hp
Cons: bit more lag
