leonv Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 As you know i have bought a TT, it has standard turbo's and standard intercooler. It has a Apexi boost controller and an Apexi air /fuel controller I have been advised to install Stage 2 Hybrid turbos, and a Blitz intercooler for a start to head for the 400-500 hp bracket. Can anyone advise me if this is the route to take (from personal experience), before i spend a fortune on wasted combinations(as you do) leon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 firstly this stage 1 2 and 3 i think is a load of old tripe, but if your looking for 450, to 500, you would be better off looking for a single, i have turbo technic new hybrids, don,t know what there pushing but will be happy with 450, but with hindsight i should have gone single with the amount its cost me, but then again was also other reasons, but in your shoes i would go single mate;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wez_p Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 might be an idea to get a ride in someone's car that is around the power output you're looking for? i know you mentioned today about your single turbo T5 that seemed to have lag but when i went in GarethEves's single turbo i can't say i noticed it much!

Class One Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 How much money are you prepared to spend is the question you should be asking. Hybrids will be the cheaper option of the two, but to get that figure coupled with reliability will cost you a few quid. Most people (who have gone single) would probably say that given hindsight they would not have gone down the bpu/apu option but would have gone straight to single.

stt Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 If I knew then what I know now I would have gone straight to a single,I didnt have a puter when i bought the car and I have benefited from the knowledge of a lot of people on the forum,Hybrids cost me best part of 2 grand supplied and fitted,Mine also has a FMIC,Boost controller and ECU and I'm seeing around 407 at the flywheel which as far as I know is near the limit with the standard fueling,Seriosly consider going single,Ive wanted to for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 bpu/apu option but would have gone straight to single. Doug, apu is the same as going single: BPU (BASIC PERFORMANCE UPGRADE) = higher boost and supporting mods. APU (ALL PERFORMANCE UPGRADE) = single or big twins and supporting fuel, mods etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 bear in mind leon has an auto box too so thaty might need looking into. i would say he should go for a small single due to the auto box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
