Turbocharger OEM Volkswagen or Garrett

I was running the GT2860RS turbos and they’re making the power you’re aiming for too. I can say I was spinning tires in third gear and hitting boost around 3400 RPMs. They may be slight older and won’t spool as fast as the newer GTX, but that particular turbo will still kick in the pants and not drain the wallet. And they are ball bearing turbos too.

Yes

Hey, so I recently bought a Garret GTX4202R and some Mace cams for my 2010 Camaro RS. I'm already planning on a getting a spec clutch to handle the new power, but I can't find a kit to build the 6 speed Aisin.

I went g25 660. It is pretty incredible the power they deliver for how small they are.

I have it on my 180sx, it's a great little turbo, spools quick. although I'm only running 300hp which I'm pretty happy with.

I have the 2867 and it’s such a good turbo. I have no complaints

I have a 2876r on my kat and it spools amazing. Pull boost by like 3500 probably. Not laggy and comes in nice. Butt dyno is like 250 on 8 psi right now.

I had a 2871r on mine and loved it. It was a dog below 4k on motor alone, but it made 400 at the tires. On the bottle with 50hp jetting it was a different animal and made close to 500. It ran like a raped ape with that combo. 20+psi at 2500 no problem

The Stage 1 Garrett doesn’t provide enough of a bump from an OEM is38 with a lifetime warranty to justify the expense.

I’ve had water pump failure, AC failure, windshield wiper motor failure and an oil leak due to the turbocharger on top of your normal tire, brake, rotor, windshield and oil maintenance.
