Yes I have a GT2871R. I have the APR stage 3 kit, but have added some extra's since. Currently experimenting with water/methenol injection, last run was 421hp, but need new software to take advantage of it... and sort out a possible issue..
Whats your plans? Why have you chosen a 3071? What software are you going with? and whats your power goals?

Say what.. 421HP with a 2871R ? Thats alot m8.. What other mods have you done internal ? What about NM ? Currently im running 35xHP and 47xnm with the stock K04 turbo and it's blowing all it can without a doubt.
The reason for the bigger 3071turbo is that it's capable of alot more than the 2871R. My goal is to first get approx 400 and then later on upgrade all the internals and then crank it up to 500+
Fuelpump just got here, quaife diff has been her some time, just need to mount it - and im ordering a custom intercooler when the fuelpump is on :D
About software im kinda diffent to everybody else.. We do the tuning ourself on the road.. That way we can push everything max. I haven't yet seen a Cupra faster than mine ;)

Im thinking :
APR Fuelpump --> Clutch / Diff --> Intercooler --> RS4 injectors --> 3071turbokit.

We already have a full ATP 3071 turbokit for a friends cupra with every part to make 500+. just need the time to make it. Including every internal part, so it wont blow up :)
Big problem is as far as i can see, the fuelpump. Everything else is just plug'n'play, or am i wrong ?

the fuel pump from apr is plug n play same as the turbo downpipe etc

check revo with the stage 3 for the gt30

As i said, im different than everybody else ;) We don't use Revo, Giac or APR's chip - we use our own... :D

Where abouts are you located?

around 460hp is capable with the GT2871R with the right fuel or water/meth.

Im running Intergrated Engineering connecting rods for internals.

Im located in Copenhagen, Denmark ;)
Ordered the GT3071R turbokit from ATP yesterday through my tuner, so let's see what it can do.. Aiming for 400 to start with. Sounds like the engine can make this kind of power without vomiting ?! :D
What's your NM ?

And haven't anybody else tried upgrading their turbo?! come on guys ;) Get on with it!!
