Garret GTX3071R Kits
« on: January 23, 2017, 06:42:08 pm »
Does anyone know where still does a Garret GTX3071R turbo kit upgrade for the mk5/6 Golf TFSI engines? Regal Autosport used to do one for around £2000 and the only other one I can find is from TSR Performance but that's £4000 although it does look more like a work of art than a turbo upgrade.

Replace the word "ring" with "turbo" and you have my exact reaction:

Haha, in fact I can get the same price kit from tsr as the nortech kit, which the manifold that tsr use is made by nortech anyway.

Haha he would say that  :grin:

How do these tasty looking tubular manifolds affect spool up on the ickle TFSI?   Past experience on other engines showed big gains up top, but made things worse down below captain.

The TSR(nortech designed) and the Nortech tubular are amazing tbh, and retail around 800. Well worth it on a turbo kit over a ATP or T flanged manifold.

You bolt a big ol' GT30 sized turbo on to a 2.0l TFSI and there will be no 'down below' to talk about regardless of manifold design :signLOL:

It'll be flat as a pancake sub 4 (ish)k rpm and then be a whole heap of fun right up to the limiter

Lol, yeah I've seen some of the power/torque curves on the FB group from our European friends running BTs, and yep, not a lot happens until 4500rpm!  Which is fine for a 1/4 drag car, but not ideal for a road car.

Nah, I was just wondering how the lag is affected by tubular vs cast with the BTs, but probably a bit academical like you say!
