How many after market turbos installed

D335I · 08-30-2010, 11:42 PM

Trying to get my arms around how many aftermarket turbos have been installed and are on the road and by who.

It looks like the vendor list has grown by more than a few which is great, but who's serious.

After many months and much reading, It seems like there are only 2 or 3 cars with working after market turbos.

Thanks,

JPSimon (EPL),
ultimateendz (EPL)*currently out of service,
Enrita did...but made bad boom

A couple on the 'other' forum that have the RB Turbos

who else?

My car is back on the street end of this week and wont make boom again :-)

to me RB Turbos and EPL are much better choices than Turbo Dynamics. TD charges an arm and a leg and you still have to whole bunch of stuff to fit them.

correct for their STage 2 . Stage 1 is similar to EPL, pnp.

Looking at Lostmarine's results, RB seems to be the way to go. Comparable (probably superior) to TD Stage 2 for roughly half the price.

Dans car isn't quite *out of service*....the axle problem has been resolved but we found another serious issue with the car which will be resolved in about a week. It is still drivable tho.

I had one other customer who wanted to do the EPL upgrades as well, but he had some unfortunate incidents that put him out of a lot of money...so for now it's meth and cutouts and 18psi lol

EPL is gonna want 3k for just the turbos, expect about a $1500 install if you use matt@camber-toe. So around $4500 installed.

How much power can I expect with the upgraded turbo?

prob ~50hp since you can boost alot higher more efficiently, with meth/racegas alot more than 50 I would say.

enrita · 08-31-2010, 10:33 AM

40-80 whp maybe? depending on type, boost and octane. the turbos give their best up top and the real big difference can be felt after 5800 - 120 mph where the stock turbos dies .

Bimmer This · 08-31-2010, 10:34 AM

Wow, that will be one pricey upgrade.

yup...my car keeps hauling up top...dont feel any signs of it choking up top at all

TurboSid · 08-31-2010, 11:00 AM

not enough upgrades on the road yet...imo

packinDSS · 08-31-2010, 11:09 AM

waiting on the single turbo kits or aftermark dual kits..... 50whp is not worth $4500 to me.

RoundelM3 · 08-31-2010, 12:05 PM

Just a curious question here - what about the increased heat from the additional stress? Anyone including oversized/aftermarket oil cooler/intercooler to handle the higher temps?
