Turbocharger Garrett or APR
I went g25 660. It is pretty incredible the power they deliver for how small they are.
I have it on my 180sx, it's a great little turbo, spools quick. although I'm only running 300hp which I'm pretty happy with.
I have the 2867 and it’s such a good turbo. I have no complaints
I have a 2876r on my kat and it spools amazing. Pull boost by like 3500 probably. Not laggy and comes in nice. Butt dyno is like 250 on 8 psi right now.
I had a 2871r on mine and loved it. It was a dog below 4k on motor alone, but it made 400 at the tires. On the bottle with 50hp jetting it was a different animal and made close to 500. It ran like a raped ape with that combo. 20+psi at 2500 no problem
Yes, its great! Off the bat the car has a bit more character, the exhaust note has a slightly different tone to it, you get more pop and crackle on the shifts and you hear more turbo noise. The powerband is smoother, stock it seemed peaky and fell off a bit towards redline, with this setup it just keeps pulling much harder. Overall, totally worth it!
Around 82k I went with a full gtx3071r... My car now has 110k and still runs like a champ. I drive it hard. I roll race it. I take it to the drag strip. It’s seen countless rolling antilag and NLS. Never a days problem never even a CEL in its life. I’d drive it anywhere
Currently at 97K, went APR 87 IS20 at 81K about this time last year. Was 87 stg 1 IS12 at 64K spring 2021. So far only issues was wastegate related from my used turbo, and oil consumption.
About a year ago, I installed the DTR6054, HPFP and LPFP, APR's Intercooler, intake, and of course the necessary tune and TCU tune to run the car on 93. I have quite enjoyed it over the last year, but it did lose some of the punch at low RPM that it had with the IS38 turbo and Stage 1 tune.
I'm APR stage 2 currently waiting on a Golf R Turbo and a tune for that! Currently limited by my tires and suspension(only lowering springs, still too soft)
