Loba 4xx Hybrid turbo

[Poverty]

WMI would get you 400bhp for about £600-£800 fitted.

Meth and a Loba hybrid is looking at 450+ ;o)

That's tuning for meth though, should the flow of meth stop for whatever reason and you risk melting something.

The statler car needing new headgasket and ARP headbolts with this turbo by the sound of things

 

[Al]

Not surprised to be honest. As noted earlier, several head gaskets have failed on 2.0T's now, especially higher powered ones.

Aye, it does seem to be the weak link in an otherwise solid engine. Annoying, but it's not always game over.

Steve's car is running big power and has done 25k very hard miles.

might aswell drop in a set of Loba/mahle pistons n rods whilst they are at it

 

[Al]

Getting expensive this turbo upgrade when you do that though eh

Should port and polish the head and change the cams and valves while you are in there

How will this compare with the GTX307R or the GT30 Turbo??? With Revo atm...LOBA for the win though (loving the clutch kit!!!)

 

[Cupra R]

I would assume the LOBA kit will be less laggy than the GT turbos.

 

[Al]

Out of interest, hypothetically, if you were to go for one of these turbos and you wanted to make the engine suitable to take it and remain safe and reliable too, which engine mods would you lot consider as "necessary" and which mods as "ideal"?

I would defo look at getting the head done.

Uprated Rods - Uprated Pistons...Maybe more

 

[Al]

Yeah, but exactly what?

 

[Cupra R]

I don't think I'd be doing rods and pistons to run this Loba kit.

If I did rods and pistons I'd be fitting the GTX 3076 probably.

This Loba kit is the next level for me on stock motor, maybe do the head bolts though.

 

[Copey]

I dont think id like to run 450bhp through the engine, i can see it throwing rods and all sorts, i mean i know its a solid engine but running over 400bhp id think id want uprated internals for security, shame there so expensive.

I agree, seriously believe it is only the head that would need doing.

Can't wait - easy 400 on stock internals! drools*

 

[Al]

See I am not convinced that the standard engine will survive this knowing that a K04 has been enough to cause issues on other engines.

 

[jc_boc]

Someone will be the first to find out hehehehe. Bryan is running over 400BHP on his stock internals Al and we both know how he drives hehehehehehehe

 

[Al]

WMI is a different deal though - this turbo could be used in addition to WMI

Which is where that BHS or the revo throttle pipe comes into play
