VTG 68mm turbos

Hey everyone, i want to upgrade my turbos BUT correct me if im wrong but am i paying 5k+ for upgraded 68mm wheels? What is the difference with the stock turbos and the ones sold by vendors that are bolt on upgrades

You might as well do 71mm

Or if you don't not mind a boost controller, do non VTG kit

Hello,

I believe you have a stock engined 991TT.

Our bolt-on 71mm VTG upgrade is holding the Official World 1/4 mile World Record for stock engined 991TT VTG setup. (Quickest and Fastest proved it self many times on track)
Ran best of 9.47s @ 148mph and has many more 9,5 and 9,6s runs.

Please feel free to reach me if you have any questions please!

Regards,
Emre

Yes i understand you Sam but thats a built engine, so its a very different story. I was referring to stock engine bolt-on power.

Cheers

Would be awesome if by any chance you guys tore down a stock engine that's been pushed, to show wear and damage.

Might be just not possible since it's a rare thing to have an engine torn down for a health check while it's fine to being with .. but just a thought

Thanks

At the end of the day, you can have the best hardware in the world. You still need to have a chef that gets you the best results. That's what you need to research.

Awesome. You tune your car yourself or had it tuned by someone and got it pushed?

Champion also have a similar set up via TiAL. They are CNC machined, clipped and rebuild/balanced to spec and are quite proven/reliable. In this case with the TiAL/Xona Alpha HTZ compressor wheels. We love that there are over 1000 such BV-50 based VTG upgrades out there between a few of us on 997 and 991 cars and they really move some air. I believe there are others that are a little less expensive and also some that are more. Some larger as well so you definitely have options. None are a simple re-wheel like the standard stuff if done correctly. We have some holiday specials and units on the shelf if you are interested and we stand behind our stuff 100% for lifetime! Or if I can help with any questions feel welcome to ask.

I have been running the Champion/Tial 68MM VTG turbo upgrade for two years and probably 12,000 miles. Multiple car rallies, half mile runs etc. Absolutely no issues so far.

Or they buy wheels from here.

I may have a set of bydesign headers and bydesign vtg's for sale shortly. Less than a 1000 miles. They're awesome to say the least, just going with a bigger conventional turbo.

Boosted TTS has a reputation beyond repute

I would stick to the 68VTG's these are proven again and again. Also, if I am not mistaken the true half 1/2 mile record on a non-built engine, stock PDK and 68 VTG's is still held by By Design. Emre, I'll be waiting for you guys in Naples

Regards,

Manuel
