Is this a K24 or a K14 turbo?
« on: April 10, 2011, 05:21:03 pm »


K24 or K14? Is it worth buying and running this at 20psi? That is, if it's a K24.

Thanks :D

I'm getting pictures from the guy selling it.

Will it be super laggy if I run it at 20 psi? Or I guess what's most important is: will the headgasket last at 20 psi?

its a toss up. you might get lucky. my Audi has a K24, 25psi boost, and it still has a stock head gasket.

my rabbit is running a VNT, maxes out at right around 20 psi.. my head gasket is still intact..

its going to be laggy tho, not bad, but its not going to be like a K14 or a K03..

I see, I see :)

The turbo comes with a manifold and wastegate; do I need the K24 oil return line too?

And secondly, how would I remove the watercooling from the K14?

i don't think they are laggy, its not like instant boost or but as the engine spool so does the turbo,  and i could hit 20-30psi well before the engine was close to red line.  i'd rather have a laggy turbo down low anyway and have more power in higher gears, cheap traction control haha.  k24 is a sweet turbo tho imo, good match for a 1.6 beyond our stock turbos it's hard to find something that will make the boost we need effeciently with out passing the surge line.

It's official: it's a K24.

But I can't afford it, so no nice big turbo for me :(
