hi
i wanted some information on the different types of turbo set ups that people on the forum have experienced as i feel that i would need to change my turbos sooner or later. and im not so aware of different types of setups avaliable for the tt and i would need a ball figure of the money involved so i know how much i have to save in the months to come. if you guys can reply with different turbo set ups u experienced with relative costs involved it will be much appreciated
thanx.

the steel wheel/hi flow stock turbos would probably be the standard response here. I have seen wildly varying prices to get this done from about $2500 - $5000 for the pair?

I had some interest in this a while back but the ceramics are still holding for the time being...

I was basically looking for the same fast spool/response of the stocks.
I am still interested to know however are there other solutions out there that offer similar response rate of stock turbo or even just slightly slower.

Does anyone have a fast response single? (non VVTi)

If you want a decent turbo setup and have a bit of $$$, I would say get a set of HKS T3G's. I understand they handle up to 300rwkw and they have the same (if not better) response then the stock CT12a's. I wanna set but good luck finding one 2nd hand.

Steven, they 'cant' have the same or better response than stock ct12a's.

Having a larger flow capacity reduces low end response especially when we're talking conventional bearing turbos.

Response up in the higher rev ranges will be better, thats a given. With the stock stall converter, most people would agree that stockies are better off the line. This all changes once the T3g's get rolling.

time to resurrect this old thread. would a pair of td05H-20G's be a worthwhile modification? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Turbo-Cartridge-Compressor-Housing-EVOIII-TD05H-16G_W0QQitemZ270438611432QQcm dZViewItemQQptZAU_Car_Parts_Accessories?hash=item3ef765b9e8#ht_2362wt_1084 i was thinking of maybe purchasing a pair of these, and then machining the stock exhaust turbine housings to suit. what would be involved? i havent pulled a ct12a apart in a very long time and cant remember how the compressor covers are attached to the centre cartridge. but if they go on then all i would need to do is machine the housings to suit right? or should i go the 20G turbines?

Wrong. They are alot laggier. They came on boost around the same time as my 3082r, with i then upgraded to after the t3g's.

The thing is the 3082r came on stronger and made more power.

Bush bearing technology vs ballbearing!

Try garrett 2560's in the 12a housings.
Ball bearing response & a whole lotta fun.
There has been a few of us do this mod on here & everyone seems happy with spool & power.

How would a Garrett GT3071r do? Since Christian mentioned the T3G's come on around the same time the 3082r does, then the GT3071r should have similar if not better response than the stock twins?

I know it flows more and might be at the expense of added lag, but it's a newer tech turbo so i'd believe spool would be similar. I've been told by a few shops reputable with working on 1jz's that Hiflowed CT12's flow about the same as a 3071r, so that might be a nice alternative instead of a hiflow or T3G's, and anyway T3G's are about $3000 if you manage to find them where as a GT3071r will set you back around $1700, manifold about $300.

Had mine done at GCG a few years ago.
The housing are modified to accommodate the 2560 Garrett BB cartridges.
Give them a call for a complete rundown.

i was thinking going twin kkr 280's or 300's at $700 a pop and a 6mth warranty, you can also buy flanges to adapt to standard manifolds. response will also be pretty good with these as well. should be able to do the whole kit for around 2g mark. seen power figures of 260rwkts on 14psi with the 280's so the 300's will be more than that.
