Default Look what I picked up for less than $500

All I need is to get ATP on the phone and it will be in the car within two weeks. Turbonetics said it's good for 400hp in this trim and the turbine A/R is right for the 1.8T

Nice! Where did you get your manifold? Adrenalin Motorsports?

Default I'm a little curious how the OD can be 2.2" and the ID 2.99"

But the turbo looks fine.

My choice is an external wastegate turbo, but shoot, for $500 that is jest fine.

What are you going to use to control it?

I am looking at a ceramic ball bearing t04/t3 hybrid for my car in the near future.

Default Well if you are doing a T3/T4 then dont expect full boost till 4000 rpms.

BTW your stock pistons will melt at 400hp. They are only good for 350hp at the most.

Default Not true. It all depends on the A/R ratio of the turbo.

A free flowing intake and exhaust will help considerably as well.

Yeah the turbine housing has a A/R of .48 so the lag shouldn't be that bad.
