Re: Hooddub's Big Turbo B6 Build
To be more clear..Originally posted by onceover View Post
The stock GT28 and GT28rs are different turbos.. but all come from the GT28 family. (As with the GT2871R)
The GTRS is a GT28 family turbo with a modified housing to fit on the stock manifold, as the stock GT turbos do not.
I think I got all of that right.. its been a while since I owned my 1.8T. (Which had a GT28 (APR Stage 3) then moved to a GT28rs (APR Stage 3+))Comment

Re: Hooddub's Big Turbo B6 Build
O.o careful with them 2871r's. I know on my B5 I always felt like the motor was going to explode before I built the bottom end out!
The 2871r also comes in two different sizes does it not? Mine was a T25 with a .64 A/R I believe.
Really pretty color though!Last edited by ToXicXxX; 05-29-2014, 10:34 AM.Comment

Re: Hooddub's Big Turbo B6 Build
So size wise it would go GT28, GT(28)RS and then GT2871r?Originally posted by R-Audi View Post
Or are the GT28 and GTRS the exact same size with a different housing?Evan

Re: Hooddub's Big Turbo B6 Build
Not sure how you can 'feel' the bottom end wanting to give out? I ran a GTRS for over a year on 20lbs of boost and had no issues.Originally posted by ToXicXxX View Post

Re: Hooddub's Big Turbo B6 Build
I have done a bit of research and talked to some knowledgeable people and in my old engine plans (before buying the volvo as a winter car) i was going to run a GTX2867R turbocharger. A quicker spool and more top end (higher pressure ratio can be run more efficiently) than the GT2871R.
Was going to run the v-banded version of this turbo along with a 9.5:1 2.0 stroker and would have had very very quick spooling along with a fairly good upper range of the turbo without it completely running out of breath. It was my opinion of a very good fast street setup which wouldn't be a highway superstar and would actually have a daily driver feel. If you are serious about doing a well thought out full engine build shoot me a message and i can put you into contact with a few people.Comment

One of the guys from Audizine that helped me out a lot ended up cooking his stock bottom end with a 2871r, but he ended up over boosting quite a bit, due to a failed controller. I think he hit about 27 psi.Last edited by ToXicXxX; 05-29-2014, 11:14 AM.Comment

Re: Hooddub's Big Turbo B6 Build
I'm still undecided on a GTRS and a GT2871r. I want a safe, reliable turbo set-up that will also be powerful enough to give a b6 s4 a run for it's money or catch an evo or STI by surprise.
Hence leaning towards a GT2871r because B6s are so frigging heavy.
That being said, I'm not interested in fully building my motor. Too much time and money that I don't have.
I will be coming up with a gameplan for everything eventually, and pricing everything out and all that.Evan

Re: Hooddub's Big Turbo B6 Build
There's a guy named John (mainstayinc) on vortex who has done a ton of research on matching turbos to engines.
I'd have a quick look thru this thread and PM or post and ask him for advice based on your set up and goals.

Re: Hooddub's Big Turbo B6 Build
Car looks good man. I'd go with a gtx2867r, that's probably what I'm going to go with if I ever change. Mind you a 2.0 stroker would be perfect with my turboDylanComment
