Which turbo is best? - Page 4

Stay away from the CXRacing turbo.. I'm pretty sure it's the one that has a MASSIVE thread dedicated to it on SM... and all the shit-tons of custom machine work required to fix the flaws in the wastegate design and casting.. it's prone to shifting and the whole gate sliding...

T3 again says absolutely NOTHING. It's just a partial form factor specification and tells you nothing with regard to the compressor and exducer. Also you'll need to check where it's going to sit in the engine bay (once you source a T3 compatible manifold for the 7M or have an adapter plate built). Unless it's a freebie I'd start looking it over for some numbers and start doing some research... otherwise you may end up throwing $200 to $500 in the trash for the manifold/adapter and oil lines (and possibly another couple hundred if you need an external wastegate).

As for the BOV, unless you've got electronics in place to tune around it you're probably going to end up taking it right back out... The engine stalling or backfiring when you shift or come to a stop is not all they say it is.

So, if you're set on the BOV plan on another couple hundred for a GOOD fuel controller (which isn't a bad idea anyway). The stock BOV or even one of the tougher Bosch BPV's sound great when vented to atmosphere... I actually recommend at least venting them into the intake right behind the air filter though in case it fails and sticks open.

Okay thanks for the good information!

So what4 do you think about a t66? From the reasearch I've done, its a direct bolt on...

And as far as a bov, I installed the maft pro.

Oh yeah... you're the one who's car isn't running right... My advice: Fix what you've got first.

Second, You're running a MAF, unless you've got it setup as a blow-through setup (not the best way to go) you're still going to have the same issues with a BOV.

Third, pick up a copy of Maximum Boost by Corky Bell.

Turbonetics T66? You're going to have worse fuel cut issues than you already are unless you've got some decent fuel upgrades first (namely high flow pump and larger injectors). They're a very nice, responsive turbo though I've had a lot of fun working on a couple MKIII's with them. Honestly, you're going to be pushing it with a 57 trim upgraded CT-26 at anything above 9 psi or so without fuel upgrades... so you might as well stop window shopping until you get the prerequisites taken care of.
