im running basically same as you with a GCG highflow, but SAFC neo on the stock ECU, makes great power, only run around 13psi. Not sure of the specs of the GCG as I bought it 2nd hand.

I have a GCG turbo with jaycar electronic boost controller. You can make anywhere from 200AWKW upwards (they are rated at 450hp). The GCG is not cheap (although you can get a discount as an SAU member) but they are ball bearing, slot straight back in with no lines to make up and boost hard from low revs.

If money is tight you can run with stock ecu (keep boost down to 10-12 psi).

I was using SAFC, SITC, speed limit cut defender but since you have a S2 you can replace all that for less money with a Nistune rechip and tune. Then you can raise boost to 16psi and really fly (you should get an electronic boost controller at this point).

he'll line you up with a Garrett GT3076 ball bearing internal wastegate chra, with ported stock front housing, and larger .73 AVO skyline rear housing, bolt on, with lines

best of the best in terms of highflows, and thats a FACT

240kw at 1.05bar (15ish-psi)

cost ?

the Garrett BB-IW Chra costs around $1300, the .73 AVO skyline 6-bolt exhaust housing is $700, ported front cover, lines, balancing etc

= $2500 for the kit, bolt on, rated for 280kw

I paid $2200 and gave ATS some spare parts for credit.

similar to a GCG.... i recon GCG prob use a 3071 CHRA.... they seem too laggy to be a 2871

Just bumping this. Looking at a GCG hi flowed turbo for my S1 Stagea. Just interested what the lag and power delivery will be like compared to a stock turbo? I want to retain as much low end power as possible, so the rpm it spools at is important, some more lag in building up boost isn't a massive issue, but if it only makes boost above 2500-3000rpms that could be a problem.

Also any comments on the mid range and hi rpm power if I intend to only run around 9psi

You will see earlier in the thread that I had one but that was four years ago - there are better and cheaper options now. Talk to Hypergear and he will sort out something to suit you - either exchange or rebuild yours - so no new lines or dumps needed.

Ill certainly ask Hypergear. Just reading through the sites you linked, it would seem the SS1 and SS1 billet machined turbo are the best match for what I need - maximum low end response. Anyone using those models?
