good evening men and women of the world wide web
i have a mk4 ibiza pd130
stage 1 remap 175bhp/300ftlbs were my lucky numbers from the dyno lottery
ss intercooler
panel filter
decat 2.5" exhaust system
looking to pick up the pase a bit, ideally looking for a solid 220bhp and for it to hold it well. i can keep up fairly well to my mates 300bhp astra vxr but it would be nice to leave him
ideally i would like a bolt on unit and some advice on a clutch.
i have seen the darkside turbo kit but the 2k for the kit, plus injectors, downpipe faffing, and then clutch on top, its pretty costly
im thinking a hybrid would be much easier as its bolt on no faff, well less faff anyway. i know sending the turbo off is cheaper than buying from turbo dynamics, but is there any reliability issues? ideally i would rather just buy a new,remanufactured unit and keep mine as a spare.
i have also done a bit of reading about this gtb2260/1756 business? but this then needs a custom manifold made right? which i REALLY dont want to do. plus i have no idea what figures it gives
also with regards to the new turbo, i would assume i would need a 2.5" downpipe, i currently have a 2.5" system but was cut from just infront of the cat. so maybe i get a propper decat pipe fitted before i get the turbo work done...
what clutches do you guys recommend, i dont want the noise of a smf and the darkside kit isnt the cheapest. what clutch and flywheel kit will reliably hold the torque i may achieve?
sorry for the million questions, i was going to buy a supercharged mx5 and run 2 cars but with the mx5 insurance coming in at £700 i think i would rather just take mine further
reviews of people turbo set-ups would be great too, real life driving compared to stage 1 map. i am in no way a racer but love being able to overtake and hope that although the peak figures arent a whole lot more, i will realistically have a lot more power to play with??
