Upgraded Turbos are in!!
 

Just received my upgraded turbos back from FVD and all I can say is wow... These things look just amazing - and look brand spanking new (looks like they reworked and upgraded/enhanced the entire unit). FVD-Borgwarner did just an incredible job...No wonder they warrant and stand behind these upgraded units so strongly.

New lighter and larger (20T) compressor definitely looks to be a huge improvement from the oem units. Now to the install to unleash these beasts!!

Get it buddy. Looks different than my turbine. Can't wait to get mine done too. Good luck

Very nice , cant wait to see how will they perform vs benblack

How could be awhp or engine hp on this 20t and with downpipe+ecu+intake?

Attached is the Stage 4 FVD Dyno (tuned around these turbos and the upgrades you mention):

Pretty much the output of gambella record panamera.

If I remember Gemballa has 753hp last one, but I don't promise Gemballa hilarious

I envy you and Ben.... SIGH......

Don't worry- "will feast on your street";)

In the new ride, or on the way to the candy store, Ben?

In the ride. Might hit a candy store too. :)

Do work Ben!!!

Can't wait to see both ur vids cmon guys

Picking her up now.......

Sweet have fun

Is it ready already ? Did you install everything ? I am waiting for the review

Yup - Freed Performance (Atlanta area Porsche specialist) knocked out the turbo swap in a couple of days...

So did you testdrive it ?

Not yet - stuck in traffic on way to pick her up..

Ok - quick review... Was stuck in traffic most of the way home so was only able to open her up a few times but when I did - it took my breath away... It's just an exhilarating experience driving this car... I mashed on it from a healthy roll in 2nd gear and I was at 90mph in just a few seconds (seemed like about 4 seconds honestly) as she rapidly made her way through 2nd and 3rd gear. Getting 1.2bar from what I can tell so far.

Gonna wake up and take her out for a Saturday am ride so will report back more then but overall just amazing

Nice dude. Told ya

how is the turbo lag ?

I don't notice a difference I'll have to watch when I drive hard. Wheels spin all the way to 3rd. So traction control backs it down. Need to learn the sweet points in manual shifting to help minimize it. Runs hard especially on the highway. With the meiser exhaust you can hear me that's for sure

I'm not noticing any real difference in turbo lag... Boost is definitely more potent however.

Turbos and tune have been the best bang for your buck upgrades I've done on the PTT

Fact^^^^ and would do it all over again a different beast

Do you guys feel the added hp in all rpm or at the top ?

I'm feeling it all throughout the power band when/where boost is applied... There is also a noticeable difference in the very top end rpm power (last few 4-5 hundred rpm) where I used to be able to feel the power taper off before the rev limiter... Stays strong all the way now in those upper rpm ranges. That could be however attributed to the new FVD tune as well vs my old tune

Was able to get a good shot of her today with a go pro... car was about 10 feet behind the go pro at takeoff...

one more...

Get it

Excellent.... boom.

Pbread , did you dyno your car ?

No, I went with the FVD stage 4 tune vs a custom dyno tune... Assume however it's around iGLambo dyno numbers based upon my conversations with FVD...

We made custom dyno tune at FVD Germany with my old turbochargers which was like yours now and indeed we were at 680-700hp range. Now i am using new turbochargers with new custom tuning file made in the best tuning companies here in My country and i have 55-60 hp more to the wheels now. :)
