Bigger Throttle Body or Upgraded VTG's
I'm looking for my next upgrade (1 step at a time) and was considering upgrading the VTG's but then thought maybe a bigger 83mm TB would be the better next step.
I'm looking for really strong bottom and mid-range for digging out of corners more than having power on the top end. And I can guess that doing both is the REAL way to go but 1 step at a time. Opinions? Thanks. Oh, car has headers, IPD plenum, Fabspeed intake, 3.5" IC's, Europipe S2 exhaust, Evo flash (525whp), BRV's on the way. |

If you go with the larger throttle body, you will also need to upgrade your IPD plenum to the competition one.
I vote VTG's:D |
I would go for VTG's...
|
With the bigger TB/Plenum you will loose TQ bottom end (lower RPM).
I would do the upgraded VTG, billet compressor wheel having less mass then cast wheel will spool up faster. Champion has a great deal on their upgraded VTG Turbos $1995 can't beat that. |
VTG's all the way brother.
|
VTG is an easy Choice.. the TB will support the larger VTG's later not vice versa.. I didnt forget you either.. Im working on the VTG pricing for you..;)

Vtg!
|
GT30Rs.
Oh wait, that's not a choice. :) |
yep, as everyone else says, get the vtg's.
|
VTG's... Lets see some serious pricing AWD... Champion got some good prices, Im gonna need some extra oomf to take Ivey down... LOL
|
Vtg's for sure!
|
VTG for sure ;)
|
Hmmm...seems like nobody thinks the larger TB is the way to go first. Thanks 6'ers, I appreciate your opinions.

VGT Turbochargers are definitely the way to go.
And nobody does faster VGTs than we do! Done in a full weight 6-speed street car! oooooooh, me likey very much. :) 135mph with upgraded vtgs, and not BIG turbos??????? Now you're talking. I assume this is just upgraded wheels in the stock vtgs, right? Dear diary, my future power path must include the ability to get into 130s in the quarter. |
