Hi guys.
I've finally fixed all the big and little problems concerning my UrS4. The engine has been rebuilt and broken in, works very well. The drivetrain is in the process of strengthening and will soon be finished. Time has come to think about the turbo upgrades. After reading numerous threads and opinions I still haven't made a definite choice. Was hoping you guys could share your opinions and experiences of various turbo builds and chime in with some advice on what's better for what cost & purpose.
So the premise is that it's a daily driver, and should be a fun daily driver, but can be taken occasionally to a track day or drag strip (no dyno queen). While at the engine work, I made a few upgrades to make sure I don't break something with more power. I have FCP X-beam rods in place and the Wagner RS2 EVO exhaust manifold.
My future purchase will definitely be Bosch 440cc Green Tops & Bosch 044. The turbo's I'm leaning towards right now are:
1) K24-7200 (preferably Billet with faster spool) from Vidar.
2) Garrett hybrids from 034 (for example https://store.034motorsport.com/turb...arrett-gt.html)
3) Very unlikely - K24-7400.
Issue with Garrett's is that 034 kits are quite expensive (+ import tax) and I've heard that 034 stuff isn't very reliable. Additionally, I need the oil and water line mods.
The main focus is more torque than power, hence the rod upgrade. And it has to be driveable in the city. Mapping - want to visit PRJ for a MAF-less live tune. Also want to keep the look under the hood as stock as possible, as I have a full set of silicone hoses there, would very much like to keep them, so turbo inlet and outlet should preferably be the same as K24-7000.
Some clutch advice to hold all this will also be very appreciated. Heard that organic Sachs clutches are pretty good both on the torque and driveability in traffic.
Appreciate your thoughts very much.
