Turbo Upgrade? Hks Gt-rs Bolt On

[stageaman]

Hey everyone.Im just starting my modding path with my STAG and would like some professional input.

Now i have previously owned 2 XR6 turbos that with basic mods and a tune at 11psi made 310rwkw.Now the stagea is a different kettle of fish and im slowly reading and learning about what to do.My only concern is the turbo as they a weak point with boost so im leaning towards eventually upgrading or rebuilding the standard unit.My aim is around 230 awkw mark which is enough because i dont want to destroy the auto or running gear.So what i want to know is the HKS GT-RS turbo an overkill or do i rebuild the stock turbo?

I still want it to boost reasonably early so anyone with any experience with these turbos would be appreciated.

Cheers

Darren

not overkill at all

as long as you have supporting mods, your good to go

i think if you want to make a full boost ealier then opt for a small turbo but bigger than your std turbo

the standard turbo should be good for this. mines making 200atwkw on 10 pound.

the auto importers where running a serries one at 18 pound no probs but when they where playing with it 24 psi front wheel couldn't take the load and bang exploded.(there only plastic)

my advice is just get the same size t3 as now only with a steel front wheel and steel rear wheel 20 pound here we come

HKS GT-RS makes a little more everywhere compared to an equivalent GCG hi-flow on back to back testing.

there is a slight price premium for the GT-RS (after you cash in your standard turbo in good working order)vs GCG hi-flow. either is a good choice.

GT-RS will comfortably reach your target (with supporting mods).

petrolfix, if you have EGA4ITs car it made 200rwkw not at all four (just to clarify).
