Upgrading my turbo's
Hi there, my name is Andy, from South Africa and I have a 911 turbo (996tt).
I recently did various modifications to my car (with the help of Mark from 911 Tuning) and put in K16 billet turbo's and intake from him. I also put in DV's as well as AP intercoolers and throttle body. But now I have decided to upgrade to the Tail 3076s turbo's (via Mark too) so looking forward to that. Andy |
Nice Andy! I'm still hoping to make the jump to something like K16 billets in the future so you're way ahead. I hope you're enjoying every mile!

with the 3076 you will max out the stock engine anyway on racegas, depends where you are going to stop, but I tell you there will be no end for this....
the ski850 uses just a bit more powerful turbos, but you will need modified headers for external WGs too Just use 3076 @1.55bar on stock engine and you will be fine, at least for some time. I am doing a basic build for my engine to move up to 1.8 or 2.0 bar depending on the fuel system I am going to end with Good luck.... with either of them, if going to build the engine, than maybe ski850 might be sligtly the better choice imho just make sure to do it right from the beginning to avoid future problems, Markski will help you out with that, he is the tuner to have |
I don't want to go bigger where i have to do an engine build - but thanks,
what do you think I will make on pump gas with the 3076's? And my supporting mods |
The K16 Billets (and 1 bar WG) will be for sale once I get my upgraded turbos (they have 2000 miles on them)
|
I sent pm regarding sale of k16's- lmk when & how much.
Thx |

You will love the turbos.... :)
