Turbocharger OEM Volkswagen or Garrett

With a g30-770 turbo I'm making right around 600whp with room to go a bit higher.

Garrett gt2250s stage 3 from 90k-100k … zero major mechanical issues.

I got a 2867R with two-port and a recirculating valve. I wouldn’t say it is snappy but spool it up to 3k rpm’s and then just roll into it and it’ll take off. When you shift you’re above 3k so just roll back into it. On 93 I have 350 and E40 I have 420 but I like how it drives.

I have a 2860 with junits elbow tuned by JST. It spools to 20psi by 2800rpm, and pulls all the way past 6k. If you have the money, 2860 beats powermax in every way… okay maybe PM spools slightly faster, but the 2860 is making 40-50whp more power AND it extends the powerband to 6k+.

Well, as long as you take care of your turbo chargers,you can drive it for years without having a problem, but if you just abuse it again and again just because you bought it for the power outputs, then ofc it will wear out in couple of years and you have to change the whole turbo which will cost around 1-2.5 lakhs.

I put one in mine, ~225 hp @ 11 psi, starts spooling at 3000 rpm

I had the ECP light issue in late June on my 2018 R with around 21k miles. The dealer diagnosed it as the wastegate, requiring a turbocharger replacement.

Similar here. EPC light on intermittently. Diagnosed as a failed wastegate. The fix was a replacement turbocharger.

VW has replaced 2 internal turbos on my wife’s 2018 manual Golf. One at 46k and another at 103k.

My IS12 turbo's wastegate failed. Thankfully, it was replaced under warranty at 57k miles, even with a stage 1 Apr tune.
