Garret GTX3071R Kits

Haha he would say that 

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.

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

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

thats why I always say upgrade the rods or you'll soon be saying hello to rod personally

you can't really doubt the seller if he's saying it's genuine unless you definitely know it's not

Asked for proof as a friend asked my opinion, surprisingly im still awaiting proof. Regarding spooling at 4500k is not always true, really depends on the mapper, I have 2 very close friends both with the 3071r and they spool at 2700rpm and full boost at 3890, they are both well known via social media and running plus 500. All depends id say on everything.

Proof of what? I can't really speak for the guy but he probably doesn't know what he's going on about and maybe a car breaker who's trying to sell it. 4500 you sure that's not a typo?.

Proof of part numbers to see if its genuine maybe....

3071R doesnt mean much.... there are so many variations of this. GT3071R then maybe 4k-4.5k for full boost.
with a GTX it will be much less spool time... Also what is the AR size as this effect spool aswell

It's old adage - if something seems too good to be true, it usually is.  The GTX3071R must be, what, £1200ish on it's own these days?  I paid £1000 for the much older tech GT3582R way back in 2008ish.

Full boost around 4000 is a bit too late for my tastes, but the top end must be insane!   There is a benefit in that the car will already have a lot of momentum by the time 4000rpm comes up, so the boost hit isn't so hard on the gearbox, or tyres.  And the flow of a GTX is more like a big shove in the back, compared to a spikey little punch.

What can be done with mapping to overcome a physical limitation?  Apart from N75, throttle and timing, there isn't a lot really.  I've heard of this 'TIV' mapping to speed up the onset of boost, but I don't get it. How do you boost cylinder filling without variable lift and duration?  The intake VVT on the EA113 is purely for NOx emission control I thought?

I Agree, only so much can be done to aid spool. people  need to remember all the mods to get the best from this setup. the better the equipment added to the car, the better the flow to an extent...

I agree back     Even with the best flowing exhausts and intakes, higher lift/duration fixed cam profiles, head porting, RFD deletes, massive intercoolers etc etc, a turbo will still only do what it's capable of.  A turbine wheel can't be forced to spin up faster than is physically possible.  Huge turbo, huge lag.   Some of those mods are actually counter productive to gas speed and therefore work against you......but because race car....no one really sweats the small stuff, like, off boost responsiveness     It's all about "Look at my 500hp TFSI".  That's lovely, but what about X, Y and Z?  And what about the cylinder walls being only around 5mm  thick and splitting open from 2+ bar of boost......or maybe it's just me that cares about that stuff 

Interestingly, Audi had to make the 5 cylinder turbo engine for the TTRS out of a special high strength iron alloy for that reason.

Sounds about right.  That is an OOOOOOLD turbo now.  But still very good.  Totally useless for a TFSI though.  With 1.06 back housing, don't expect any boost until about 4800-5000rpm!

I just wanted to make sure of the right pricing and wouldn't go BT tbh I'd rather K04 mapped tweaked up for decent power and drivability end of. But my mate up there wants to fly in his scirocco  and show off that he beat a tfsi with his IHI 

[pudding]

He would definitely fly up a drag strip, but would get smoked by a Honda Jazz off the lights

Simon (toosmiles) has just fitted one on his 6R (you may have seen this on TFSI Tuning FB group). Mental turbo, and purfect for this engine
