Turbo options

[Jairn01]

Ok, first off, before I go any further YES im aware of the search button, I'm aware this subject has been covered probably a million times over. And yes I've done abit of research...but just out of curiosity for the 4 people who still give feedback on this site.

- I'm looking for potential turbo options for my 25neo det

My style of driving is mainly spirited runs through the hills, and potentially grip days/hill climb days down the track.

Not looking for 500+kws  just maximum response from 0-180

E.g hi flow 0p6, 3076, tdo6, 25-660 ect

How' does it compare in spool and torque  to say..... a bolt-on a hypergear atr45?

Id agree that borg are worth the $$ but it's quite a difference

Something worth thinking about is, are you prepared to do this job twice? 

Say you buy the ATR45, and for whatever reason you aren't 100% satisfied. Are you prepared to pull the turbo off, sell it 2nd hand and throw on a $$ turbo?

If you can do the labor and tune it yourself, you might only be out of pocket a few hundred $$. Not bad. But if your paying for the install and tune, you could be out of pocket a couple of thousand $$! Maybe that's ok with you, maybe it's not. 

If you don't want to do this job twice, it might be worth saving up for that big shiny $$ turbo. Hey, if your still not satisfied, you know there is literally nothing better in that category of turbo (and really what your wanting then is a unicorn turbo that makes 20psi at 2000 rpm and flows 500kw which doesn't exist haha). 

my 2c.

Haha, yea fair enough, thanks.

I'll definitely keep it in mind, the actuall outlay price of it is the killer...but you pay for quality so
