looking to upgrade the turbo in my 2003 msp. wondering wich turbo would best suit my engine. i am looking for the most hp gains without doing work to the block head or pistons. also what is the max boost can the stock engine handle without the worry of damage?
Protege Garage is going to start doing this conversion as well. He's a well known vendor, easier to get ahold of and all around great guy. I tried on multiple occations to contact Nick about this conversion on my extra T25 and never did get a response. I just had a long chat with Ken about this exact thing and this will be a reality on the very near future.or you can do modern performance inc. upgrade. Which I think they put the 28 internals in the stock houseing. Stage 1 which is just compressor side is 700 and stage which is the whole thing is 900. Nick does a real quick turn around. I have the stage 1. It was night and day difference
The wonderful thing about these cars is the ability to put on smile on your face and make your Passengers s*** themselves on hard corners, too much power and loose that.if you want to waste money, just send it to me and keep the stock turbo.
the stock turbo is more than capable of bending your rods and putting holes in the stock fs-de.
dont concern yourself with the max boost you can run, its the amount of power and torque. people have blown the engine up at a variety of "boost levels." If you want to be safe, dont touch the boost.
if you want to have a fun, well rounded car (and add a little risk), shoot for 190-200 whp and call it a day.
James did you ever hear from Ken for sure on that. I asked him about it but couldn't pm him back because his mailbox was full.
bump about ken doing the rebuilds now? Also is it really that hard to rebuild yourself?
i'm not going to say a whole lot about the T25 upgrades until i have firm details back from the machine shop. thanks to Zuku for donating his dead snail to the cause. once i have specs and pricing, i'll make it known to all you guys.
