Low comp turbo is a 90's thing. Again, throw out everything you know, because it's only going to hurt you going in this project. Leave behind your preconceived notions. |

I'd like to keep the price of the turbo under $1000. Any suggestions?

I was thinkin E85 also. This wont be my daily driver since i still have my GTI. I have a gas station down the road that sells E85. Would it be worth the upgrade?

Thanks..Would the e85 be worth the upgrade? Will it be more reliable? If not I can get 93 anywhere around here.

Would a gt28 be about the same as a t3 .63 trim? Want to get a turbo with external waste gate instead of internal. I see most of the gt28s come internal.

E85 is always worth it.
I can hit 350whp with my 18G. A GT28 with E85 can hit far, far higher. My stock clutch can slip if it's cold enough at 6.5psi. The known slipping point of the OEM clutch is in the realm of 285-315lb/ft, give or take. |
