lumoxs 0 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 hey guys, kinda thinking ahead a bit so i can start to get someplanning done etc...now, i dont wanna go everyone route of superchargin the vr, i wanna be slightly different n go for a turbo charger....so my questyion is, whats the best to use, as the VR does hit full power till 4/4.5k whould it be best to have anturbo that spools up around the 3.5/4k mark to get the extra power out of it thus, making it safe on the internals and gettin thatfukll power earlier??somy plan of thinking is smaller turbo = quicker spool upso like a garrett T28?anyone shed on any light on whats the best turbo to use?and if there is a y logic behind my thinking?ash Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 There is alot of threads asking the same, try a search?But general opinion will be a gt35. Link to post Share on other sites
lumoxs 0 Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 done the search. found nothing but general crap, same as every other search funtion on any other forum. Link to post Share on other sites
rodney 17 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Sorry you feel that way mate... There are some very detailed threads on here where people have discussed this option to get what that individual wants out of it..In addition there are how to discussions... some of them are, of course, only available to the Premium members.As with all search functions... crap in crap out.. so please take some time to work through the pages of threads a simple "Turbo" search will throw up. Alternately pop along to one of your local meets and have a chat with the chaps(esses) there and they will be more than happy to discuss things with you..Finally as I am sure you have spotted... some companies will supply you a made to measure kit like Vince.. perhaps that may be of benefit to you..Good luck with your project!

lumoxs 0 Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 thanks dude, allit was -i just wanted toknow the best turbo to use, as round here we dont get alot of top end action - im more of an acceleration man to be honest. so i'd like the acceleration to be on the money. so i was thinking nsmaller turbo quicker spool up.... tghus equaling quicker acceleration.

craggsy 91 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I have a gt30 on my R32 and spools up quick and acceleration is quick. Sub 5 second to 60mph Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 couple of threads on T28's on vr's mate http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?184448http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?3929135-t28-turbo-on-a-vr6 Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 oh and if you have a few free evenings grab some biscuits and a cup of tea and have a read through this http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?139931 Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 LOL the 2 threads you posted up Ben were a tad quick lol.But I would get a GT30 or 35. They both spool up quick to give you the acceleration you desire. And are proven on the VR6 Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I have a gt30 on my R32 and spools up quick and acceleration is quick. Sub 5 second to 60mphYour only running a gt30? Bit small don't you think??? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 That swhat was on it....i was under the impression it was a GT35, but they use a GT30 hybrid on the kit now. Theres no way to see what it is tho.....maybe one day i'll strip it all back to find out what it is Link to post Share on other sites

FishWick 21 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I have a gt30 on my R32 and spools up quick and acceleration is quick. Sub 5 second to 60mphYour only running a gt30? Bit small don't you think??? I must admit, that did cross my mind too :-) It's probably a GT3082 hybrid with a T4 turbine housing, which is a very nice unit for big R owners wanting some midrange punch :-)Personally I'd pop a T4 35R on for some top end clout as the R has more than enough poke below 3000rpm as it is!To the OP, a nice GT35R 0.82 AR for £995 - http://www.gt3turbo.com/Merchant/product.php?productid=16133&cat=332&page=1I ordered mine from there and it's 100% all Garrett. My previous GT35R from America had clone housings on it and ended up costing more!P.S. I'm a bit of a 35R whore. Only because imho it's the perfect match for a VR6, Really, really nice turbo.
