2.7t gt28rs? setup
hey. well, im getting close to paying off my allroad. and was wondering about the capability of the 2.7. ive been thinking about doing some motor work. I don't know a lot about the actual physics of what type of internals are needed, as far as pistons, rods, crank, ect. So to get to my question. What would it take, to build a high(ish) revving, reliable ~550awhp 2.7t? i have a manual, so id probly be alright with just a clutch? And ive heard that the 2.8 heads would be ideal for a higher hp setup. but thats about all i know that i would need. besides the obvious intercooler, dvs, injectors, pump, manis, dp. If i could get a list started and work out the details, that would be a good first step. but i just need some advice from some more experienced techs. thanks in advance, and criticism is welcome.
oh. and of course, first on the list, is brakes.

ps. i would talk to a tuning shop. but up here in north dakota, shops are scarce. And i dont feel right just calling up a random shop asking them for a complete build sheet.

I'd go with a k04 framed turbo like rs6r's. The gt28s are slow to spool. Combine that with the weight of an allroad, and you're sacrificing drivability. The rs6r's are capable of 500+ or so and don't completely neuter the lower revs. As for the rest, here's what I'd do:
SRM intercoolers
Injector dynamics 725 (or 1000 if you have e85) cc ev14s
Bosch 044 fuel pump
85mm maf (any larger and you can end up with a **** idle)
3" catless downpipes (SRM makes good, cheap downpipes)
Stock pistons, RPM rods, ARP studs and a good girdle
Meth injection
2.0 coil conversion
And a GOOD tuner. This means NOT J-fonz. I can give you some recommendations. If you have e85, you can get a substantial amount more out of it. This setup is very solid, and will perform well in a heavier daily driver. As for the heads, I'd stay with the 2.7's. You need a very large turbo to make the loss in velocity due to the larger exhaust ports worth the increased intake volume.

Depends on your budget. Similar turbos put down 600awhp on e85. You're talking a big dollar build though. How deep are your pockets?
As for tuning, I know of noone in the midwest, but quite a few remote guys that would do a helluva job, but e85 requires a dyno.

how deep are my pockets you ask? well lets just say i bought a solid gold anchor to keep my yacht from floating into my private island. haa. but seriously. i have a good job, no wife/kids, a deep love for cars/speed. and it looks as if this build will be in the upward area of 15-20k. money well spent i think. and i know there's a few shops in Minneapolis. idk if i would just buy all the parts and take it to them and have them build it. or if i would build it all and then just have somebody tune it.
