bigish turbo for my s3 DIY instal eazy fit help needed

[George S3]

Hi guys
Im new to all this forum stuff, I have had my Audi S3 2002 BAM for just over 2 years and spent quite abit of money on it so far witch I know I will never get back but im doin it for the love!
so far mods are

Remap
KW Variant 3 coilovers
CMD carbon indution kit
Forge FMCL007P Diverter Valve
BBS RS 301 with T1R tyres
Alpine double din touch screen with sat nav and 8inch stealth kicker sub

Sprint Booster and racediagnostics.com liquidS3 are ordered and on the way!

After I will be getting a Heldex performance controller

and now I need a new turbo for Xmas!

I want a kit I can fit my self with out to much work and hassle
Dont want to change any internals dont mind getting injectors
Just want easy fit stuff I can just fit at home with abit of a hand from a friend
want it to spool up fast like my K04 looking for around 330-340bhp
and a nice drive I hate lag but dont we all.

I have seen a gtrs and a gt2871r Eliminator kits but have seen bad press but look nice and easy to fit
been thinking about ihi or k04 hybrid but not sure

I mite just get a Forge FMIC Kit or just make one up

you guys on here are the pros, please give me a hand I cant sleep at night lol

Regards
George

I don't know if backdraft do a DIY kit, but I think I'd start with them.

I you want it to spool up fast like K04 then I'd say a hybrid is your best bet.

First question, Whats your budget?
Second question, how much power?
Third question, who is mapping it?

 

[ryan_s3]

btw if you want a cheap intercooler kit,i have a evo 6 intercooler in my garage perfect size to fit between bumper bar and rad on a s3 good for 450+bhp.Then ditch the twin mounts and make the pipework yourself.Wish i'd done this when i had my s3! pm me if interested.

Jabba sport IHI 350 Kit is the way to go, They fit and map.
Great setup and not laggy!

 

[ryan_s3]

[George S3]

How far can I go before changing internals?

bhp tq fly wheel etc

is a Gt2871r too much? whos got one on ther car?

Regards
George

 

[ibizacupra]

low to mid 300's is the usual "ok" level on stock internals with sensible tune

 

[ryan_s3]

yeah 300-340bhp "should" be ok on standard internals.
You need exhaust,injectors,turbo/kit(turbo,manifold,downpipe,lines).Probably £2500 hardware.£500 mapping,£600fitting.Abou £3600 in total.Ask Bill he could probably put a ihi deal together for you.

 

[jamiebennett81]

if you want something easy to fit, look at the gt2860rs kit from www.backdraftmotorsport.co.uk

good turbo and good early spool, with the 0.64 housing or the slightly larger 0.84 housing - not quite as quick as a k04 spool up, but you will never get the power you want and a quick spool, as you have to go for a larger unit to reach the power you want

this will get you to 360bhp max

dont bother with a k04 hybrid, I for one, as well as others I dont believe a k04 hybrid can sustain 330bhp+ as some companies state.....

BDMS have a christmas offer on at the moment for the kit - about £2500 and this you should easily be able to fit your self

hope that helps

[QUOTE about £2500 and this you should easily be able to fit your self

only if you have it fitted by them bet its a few more £ fitted
