Gt3076 Tuning

[WYTSKY]

chrsito as others have said dont stress about the head gasket. I have the same turbo just externally gated on a high comp motor (193,xxx) with standard everything internally and im on 18psi... gets some hair on the goulies and get the power up:)

I've got a Garret GT3071 (smaller than the 3076)on my R34, and I get 260rwKW at only 16PSI, and the response is just as good as the factory turbo. Next I'll be putting the boost up to 18PSI with the hope of getting about 280rwKW.

just as good as factory? all in under 3k?

Asking if it is all in by 3k I am assuming you mean is it on full song by then. Meaning full boost, peak potential for flow, etc etc etc etc.

Consider for yourself, how can something that is going to be maxed out by 3000 RPM going to be good over the range? Well, its not really.. That's why we all bin the bloody thing. I binned the whole anchor of a motor to be honest, and that chewing gum gearbox.

Now if you consider a turbo with a higher flow potential could get you better power up top, all you need to do is have it flowing good power in other areas where you need it. That means while its not on FULL SONG or FULL BOOST by XYZ RPM its still making plenty of flow to actually make GOOD usable power.

Welcome to the wonderful world of turbo selection, and the f***ing terrible one of working with a 2.5L (to which I still have, DOH)
