• which turbo is best? by gribur on 13 Jun, 2010 00:23
• I have a MK3 Golf TD and was wondering which turbo is the best for this car? i want it to be quick off the line , not worried about top end too much, i am looking for fast 0-60.
  here is what i have on hand,
  
  A)  KKK K03
  
  B)  KKK K14
  
  C)IHI turbo
     Turbo Spec-VJ11 9101
     Serial Number RHB5 25076 A
     Parts Number-F220 B
     and stamped in a different spot is
     R3
     6A
     52E
     12-R
     3
     effective limit of this turbocharger is about 140kW. or approx 180hp
  
  D) IHI Turbo
      Turbo Spec-VF 28603
      Serial Number-RHB5 17125 A
      Parts Number 14412AA002
      and stamped in a different spot is
      3
      K
      0K
      52K
      20R5
      VF28
      comes on boost around 3100rpm, Expect to max out the VF23 somewhere in 250KW range, 300-350 hp
  
  I don't know turbos, i just want to put one on and have it perform the best.  if anyone can do turbo research and let me know, like i said i dont know much so i am asking for help with this one. Please let me know what you would pick and why.
  cheers

• from what others have said on here I would say that the K14 would be the way to go...assuming it is for a 1.6?

• like i said i dont know much about turbos, i dont even know what i would need if i went with an IHI. i just want it to be able to spin tires off the line and get to 60 pretty quick.

• the vj11 is outt of a suby I am guessing? Its not really a diesel set up, more for 1.8 gasser. I'd look for a better fit for the 1.9 like a K24.

• what is the difference between a gasser turbo and a diesel one?  should i just sell the two IHI's

  the vj11 is just not a great turbo. The vj26 is used on the isuzu 4x4 diesel engine and gassers use them to hit the 350 hp range. They are watercooled turbos which has its good points and bad points.
