Quote from: theman53 on February 12, 2014, 07:29:33 amThe bigger turbo that I have does not "hit" it is just smooth power the entire way. The only hit is the go pedal input. As smooth as you are with the go pedal is as smooth as it will be. Libby would know better as having it in your style ride, but the ALH I have has more of a "hit" than the holset in my 1.6. The vnt in my 01 goes from nothing, to a few pounds, to full boost 19psi ish at around 1,500. The holset goes from nothing, to a few lbs and no difference in power to 5lbs and feeling a little power, and it continues to grow boost as long as you are on the go pedal. If you are all out on the skinny pedal it will probably be making 18-20psi by 2,000rpm. The other holset you are getting without the ported shroud maybe faster than mine. The other thing is an 01 jetta is different than an 86 jetta and even more different than a vanagon. You may boost better since the van is heavy and you will always have a good amount of load against the engine. I think the smaller k14 has you thinking that the bigger turbo will be the same just more power. The k14 spools to full boost so fast it may seem like a "hit" to you. The larger turbo with the little bit of lag to full boost I bet will be just what you are hoping for.Thanks for the info theman - at what RPM does your holset begin to boost?

Dirt cheap T25 manifold for golf/jetta mk1 and mk2 here: http://www.tanskyshop.com/vw-8v-cast-turbo-manifold-t3t25-tk-em02_p4475.html remember to specify T25 otherwise you get a T3 one. Cast isn't perfect so be prepared to port it.
exhaust ports not d shaped.
Is there a manifold readily available that has a t25 footprint?Or is it commonplace to use and adapter plate?This turbo seems like it will foot the bill for my power goals. Thanks for the info. Sorry if this post is considered hijacking the thread.

It was actually less for me than the Chinese one with shipping added into it.
So, this manifold would be a perfect fit for the new turbo and a 1.9 or just a 1.6?
