Sensible turbo choice.

[Rusty]

Billman is selling a k24 7200 for asking price of 500 euros delivered. Job done

I believe that all AAN/ABY cars have 3 bar as standard.

Get a secondhand RS2 unit in good condition and have it rebuilt with a 360degree thrust bearing at some point.

Not sure on injectors, you'll have to take advice from your chosen tuner on that one...

Cheers for that.

The car did get a ‘3bar map sensor’ when QST did the MTM stuff a few years ago. (Or should I say that’s what the sales blurb stated)

And basically give the new turbo to MRC at the same time to fit, rather than doing the change my self? (I was hoping for one run with the turbo fitted to deliver the car to them!)

Would the RS2 turbo (OEM or replica?) Spin up the same or would the remap cure this? (As I like the whip of the turbo I already have)

Would replica RS2 injectors from 034 M’sport be OK, or would they be cheaper from the UK for genuine new kit?
Can I assume the fuel pump will be OK? (It OK at the present with no faults)

Regards,

Andy.

The most sensible turbo is the RS2 unit, it's cheaap, available and bolt on. It can be run on standard k24 injectors with a remap from Paul / MRC etc. Then you can upgrade to an RS2 ECU (or map and map sensor upgrade) & injectors.

You will not be able to run this turbo with the MTM map without the risk of poor fuelling and thus damage.

Power on RS2 turbo with k24 stuff is IIR 310-320bhp, power on RS2 injectors can be up to 380bhp.

Ok then. Latter this year I am looking to replace the turbo on my S6, for one that spins up quicker (if possible) and gives more power without going the replacement rod route, etc. (Its getting a little noisy but no smoke as yet!)

The car has already got a ‘RS2 EM, bigger SS exhaust, free flow 200 CPI cats, 034 M’Sport ignition conversion, Samco's, K+N’ filter and a host of other small negligible mods’s (I have excluded the phase 1 MTM software as it will be replaced after the turbo change)

I am not after anything off the chart, as the money spent will equate to a new turbo and a MRC remap. So if the car sits around ‘325 to 350 BHP’ I will be happy. Can I assume once I get my injectors cleaned they will be OK for the new set up? (The only other item I will probably do will be a bigger intercooler but then that will be 2010 and that’s it in the engine department!)

Lastly, will the new turbo be able to be used with the old MTM phase 1 software for a few weeks with a soft right foot?

Will the 'sensible' replacement turbo take all the old (new) bits already fitted to my car?

I am also looking for a good UK supplier of turbochargers too?

(There will be a bigger brake question later on today!)
