K24/18g's or GT2860rs turbo upgrade??
 
Could someone offer advice the difference between the K24/18g's vs. GT2860rs turbo upgrade from stock 16 turbos?

2much,

Try a search on this at first. There are new A28's out right now trying to compete with the 24/18's. What are your performance goals?

I have a set of GT3076 / K24 turbos, custom headers, and wastegates forsale for $5k. The turbos alone were $4500 new, headers were close to $2k and wastegates were $600. They have made 666rwhp on 1.5bar and ran an 11.0 @ 137mph in the 1/4 all this was done in the summer heat. It should go 140+mph in the winter. All this is being done on a stock motor. I am going to be swapping to an even bigger setup.

looking for the neck muscles to strain, test drove a coupe that had an incredible rush, don't exactly know what his set up was, bought a 996 tt cab. and trying to max tune with internal engine work?

already have B & B race headers with GT race exhaust, do the GT3076 require external wastegates?

Powell Jul 29, 2009 09:59 AM

You could convert back, but I'd like to sell the kit as a whole because my headers are modified to work with those turbos (the stock locations they send them to you with will not let you mount the wastegates). There is no difference with controlling the boost or anything, just a standard boost controller setup. The only difference is that the externals sound bad ass at WOT!

Turbos
 
Any of these kits would be a nice upgrade , but the more low end to mid range power would be the 3076's,. The upper freeway or more high end boost would be the k24/18g, so its really just about what kind of power you want. Both would be a great option from stock!!!

thanks for the input! much help

2muchtime Jul 29, 2009 02:32 PM
