ive probably already guessed the answer but im assuming these kits are to suit the k03/04-01 manifold and demand isnt such that theyll be made to suit the better flowing tt225 manifold/downpipe combination?

Anyone know whats going on with these? I mean anyone contacted ATP

The transverese Eliminators should have been released by now! Web site was said "in less than 2 weeks" for around 6 weeks now!

Maybe they are having problems with the manifold! :think:

I know Grant at Westec was going to order some 'stock' weeks ago just to see what they did and decide whether to stock them permanently......don;t know if he did order them / get them

Excellent - I was considering the GT2X but now I'm thinking scr*w it I'll have the GTRS!!! :D Good news!
Rob i have been told you wont get much more out of a GT2X than a k04 realistically! They only manage high 290BHP with around 104+ ron fuel! Which is achievable with a k04! The GTRS would be the better option, especially if you have the injectors already just get star to map it for you! :) may loose abit bottom end b'cos of the lag but the flow top-end will make up for that ;) You can easily achieve a realiable 320 BHP running a sensible boost level (more if you wanna push internals)

Hi

I have a question about this turbo.
Several sources are selling GT28R and some of them are telling that it is a bolt on turbo some are telling it will not fit 100%(exhaust manifold).

Does only ATP turbo fit or also others will fit?
Im running Cupra 1.8T 2001 and looking for turbo upgrade. But cant understand whether I can order myself GT28R from other sellers or not.

Yep, Eliminator series is designed to bolt up to stock manifold etc., anything else needs it's own manifold, downpipe, intake etc.

Your link points to the Audi kits, you need to look here:

I have had a hands-on look at the GT2X and GTRS Eliminator turbos, all Garrett turbos, cracking turbos, even the GT2X is bigger than a K04, here's a couple of pics I got of the GT2X Vs K04:

GTRS and GT2X are being fitted by Star as we speak, the GTRS is a good chunk bigger than the GT2X again, mine is going in very soon! :D

Jim was talking about you when i was there, keep this thread updated on the results, which turbo have you gone for, i fancy going for a GT2X after my wedding.

Hi Phil. Car is in right now being done. GT2X along with S3 injectors @ 4-BAR (to give around 440cc), S3 Forge/Samco intake hose, S3 MAF, ATP manifold etc. and a manual boost controller. Water pump failed during mapping, road tests, etc. so needs new pump, timing belt etc. but before the pump went it was making 281bhp and 309lbft at 20PSI. Fitting an Apexi AVC-R boost controller soon as most MBC's are a bit naff really. So it's all going well really (apart from the water pump!), should have it back next week. Definately alot better than a K04 that's for sure. :)

Jim is also doing a GTRS on another Leon just now too. ;)

GTRS - nice.

Why all the manual boost control/Apexi stuff? I took it that Jim could do custom mapping?

I think the N75 keeps cutting boost at 20PSI and over so has to be bypassed, plus yes, Jim is fully custom mapping it and wants control over the boost. The AVC-R can be set to give different boost in different gears, rpm's, etc., so hopefully give more traction in lower gears on lower boost etc., 309lbft is available from only 3800rpm so could well need it!

GTRS is making around 320bhp so far. Dual ball-bearing turbo, sounds awesome!

These Eliminators appear to be a decent intermediate step between K03S/K04 and big turbo kits. Offers a path too, I can now upgrade to GTRS or GT2871R without too much hassle, just have to buy stronger rods - lol! :D
