Big Turbos for newbies

[hark]

Is there a write up on here laying out really basic options when looking at big turbos?

I'm talking really simple stuff like:

The turbos used
expected bhp/torque gains from each
A very rough idea on cost.

I have a stage 3 mapped Audi TT at the mo. Lots of the basics like fmic, downpipe, sports cats etc are fitted. With correct fuelling it could make 280bhp? I dunno never got a reliable figure....


I guess what I'm really asking is what do you need to do to make 300bhp, 330bhp or 350bhp? etc

Is a hybrid an option? Do alot of stop start driving so huge lag is not appealing.

ko4 hybrid is an option for relatively low cost but i'd pay the extra and go for a turbo capable of 350bhp which wouldn't be too laggy.Budget for 4-5k though and possibly an uprated clutch,other option is to buy one already done like mine

What we talking for £4k-5k

Presume thats all in. But is that changing any internals or keeping everything oem bar turbo, fuel pump etc

 

[caney]

i'd change the rods for piece of mind mate,so another 1k on top of that.fuel pump should be ok upto and around 350bhp.

Mate what do they do for £4k-£5k of my hard earned cash then other than destroy my oem clutch lol

That's alot of money. What's included? I appreciate that a huge amount of this is labour.

damn at that price you might aswell sell the TT and get a mk2 cupra for a easy 340hp on the stock turbo!

Even after experience the brute power of yours Sam its a lot of money to plough in to a 7 year old car with 60k on the clock.

I can see why people do it, but I can see why ppl dont have the pocket or ballls to follow it through.

600bhp/tonne..
its not too bad a bang for buck return vs the supercars which will be slower..
wolf in sheeps clothing too..

each to their own

how much is a mk1 TT? 10 grand? 12 grand gets you a mk2 cupra. another 2 grand gets 340hp.

Money well spent imo unless you really do want a high powered TT.

2001 Tt about 8k-9k but 4wd ! 12k for mark 2 has to be cheap

Ibiza Cupra = Bill I presume, new on here as you can see. Are you the guy everyone keeps refering to when asking about big turbos. BT guru maybe?

600bhp per tonne? What car is that then?
