Title: turbo question
Post by: entuzijast on December 28, 2006, 03:36:48 pm

Ok, don't attack me, I know this subject is  chewed like a hundred times, and I did a search, but I found different opinions,

but to make it short,

120 hp, how much bar do I need?

and

for that purpose, including that the car will be a daily driver, k14 or k24?


EDIT: I forgot to mention it is 1.6l engine

The T3 will handle 120 hp at 22-24 psi(boost) better than any other bolt on turbo even the k24.Yes there will be more lag when compared to the ko3,k14 or t2 but If you want an efficent 120 hp from a 1.6/1.9 then it is the turbo of choice
