It's been months and the big vendors haven't said a thing! There were a few threads earlier in June where AMR and EC chimed in regarding having units with upgraded turbos installed but that was 6 months ago!

I know there was a forum member who recently posted a dynochart with upgraded turbos making 600 whp and 700 wtq but that's all I've heard!

Someone share some insight!

Thanks

Theres 4 people that I know of who have upgrded turbos but none of them are saying anything.

Any idea why that is? I really think an appropriate mod path for this platform would be:

Downpipes, Upgraded turbo wheels (that fit into the stock housing), a better intercooler unit and a tune....I'd imagine 500whp easily on pump gas without really cranking up the wick.

10s all day in the quarter mile, and a great daily driver than can be pushed in snow, rain, etc

I am really surprised we haven't seen results on the forum as yet, as I have spoken to vendors in the past who weren't questioning the reliability of the transmission assuming the goal was to push the stock engine to a "higher" level. What gives?

from what I heard they are all using the same set of larger turbos. but none of them have the tuning completely worked out yet.

that is the key IMO people can slap on bigger turbos but it is the tuning that makes it work properly

FWIW, I recently read of a guy on Facebook C43 page, stating that he is running larger turbos and a tune on his C43, still trying to dial it in and shooting for 10.8 in 1/4mi, already hit 11.0 or something like that- seems very impressive to me. So there is hope if he is telling the truth.

Bigger turbos also take longer to spool up

There is no doubt in my mind we can see 10s in the quarter mile with the a turbo upgrade. Guys are running mid 11s with a flash. We could see some crazy good times if we had an upgraded turbo wheel because all dyno charts on the stock turbo show the turbo kind of falls off around 6k rpm. I am going to wait to see if the big vendors chime in this week, otherwise I'll bump this back up and do some searching of my own.
