Turbo issues... repair or upgrade?
« Reply #15 on: April 28, 2006, 07:51:52 pm »
So... went to look at a few turbos after work. The k24 I had planned on buying was rougher than I had hoped. They had a good Garrett T2 though.

Here's my question: Buy the T2 or dig a little more for a k24?

Both the k14 and t2 already used on the 1.9 are considerably bigger than the ko3 already and will be a direct bolt on with the only the manifold needing to be changed.Both of these turbos are good for 20 psi and a considerable amount of fuel while still giving great spool up,unlike the t3,k24.The t3,k24 will work but are not worth installing if your not looking for over 100hp 25+psi boost.

In the end It may just depend on which turbo is the easiest to come by :D


Well... I guess I already have my answer. Although, it will still necessitate modifying my DP.

There's a guy up the road from me with a k24... I'll have a look at that in the AM, but maybe I'll stick with the T2... it's in pretty good shape.

WTF is up with the quote function??

Bought a new Megan Racing EGT gauge on ebay, but the seller hasn't replied to my emails asking for the thread size for the probe.  He emailed me when I accidently shorted him $2 on shipping though, ####er!
