I know next year when I get my Mk5 TFSI I will be running on of the EFR range turbos and
aim for 500-600bhp...
As far as I know this is the first 1.8T BAM LCR in the UK to be running this setup.
The new Borg Warner EFR 6758 Turbo 275-450bhp
http://www.full-race.com/store/turbos/borgwarner-efr/borgwarner-efr-6758-turbo.htmlNot a cheap turbo but a fecking AWESOME turbo. Its the first big turbo I have tuned which can spool near enough on par with the k04-023 by having peak torque below 4000rpm and go on to produce 420bhp close on to 8000rpm. If tuned with spike it would go on to produce 500lbft with ease by 4200rpm.
but would make the car a nightmare to control/drive.
We opted to peak the boost at 22psi at 4000rpm, then ramp the boost linear to 26-27psi by 8000rpm to maintain a flat torque band. The turbo would boost at 32psi happy and all day long and could make 480-490bhp maxed ou.
This it the way forward imo.... We all just need to win the lottery..
The graph below is of one of the runs from our live mapping session this morning, layed back to back with a stock AMK 210bhp k04 graph..
If you dont understand dyno graphs then the picture below will put it another way.
Ben is the stock K04 turbo and Lee is the new Borg Warner 6758 turbo..... :rolleyes:
The car is also running WMI for cooling and has 100bhp shot of NOS to hand to squeeze the peak power to around 500bhp. :evil:
Anyone with a mk5 TFSI wanting to run this turbo??
