DannoSupra Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Is there a thread open on Turbo Guide's, Like what to go for? Single or Twin? Basicly im after a Single Tubby upgrade like a T66 or a T70. Or whatever you guys recomend, want it around 650-700hp. Still gonna be driving everyday so dont want to go stupid. still want it nice to drive Cheers Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Hmmmmm, 700 hp and dont want to go stupid dont go together:D I see your auto... you will need a upgraded box to start with... and a built engine would be nice if you want it to last.

Matt Harwood Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 500 (real) bhp and 'don't want to go stupid' barely go together. Especially in this weather. On a dry day with low temperatures I'm really struggling for grip in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and even 4th. I even had the car step sideways at 120+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I had the T66 on mine till it started failing, but it was 2nd hand and very cheap so not great loss. But as Jamie says your gonna need to think about your gearing. Uprated box time or 6 speed. A T66, T70 or T67 would full fill your power requirments, although if you don't mind a little lower bhp figure a T61 could also be considered.

tooquicktostop Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 My set up with an HKS TO4R Single and an Auto box seems to work very well, and at a dyno'd 594 BHP is more than enough for an Auto box, dont get sucked into the big BHP thing until you have tried 500BHP it is plenty for a daily driver and is less stress on the stock engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tuner who got this flywheel figure was TDi but the roller they used was at Abbey Look in cars for sale on HKS TO4R Single car for sale to see spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
