Title: K26 turbo upgrade
Post by: nolandubholmes on 30 April 2012, 08:31
I've managed to get my hands on a k26 kkk turbo off a Porsche it's a big whopper just wondering would it be a worthy upgrade to slam it on my 20vt ???? As its due for injectors and a turbo

whats the model number? Some k26's don't give out alot of power and are slow to spool.

It's off an audi rs2 I've found out its old technology but good and very reliable for 300hp easy but it's very laggy so I'm undecided between this and a td05

I'd go t3/4, cheap unit and plenty of aftermarket manifolds to make it fit

You sure it's an rs2. That number you gave ain't the model number. It should start with a 5.

It's come off an Audi rs2 manifold I think it's a Porsche original I don't bloody know if I'm honest I'm hunting the net now either way I just don't fancy a k04 I want to be different see what happens

If it was an rs2 it would have been expensive. All K24's and K26's will fit the manifolds was it a 5 cylinder manifold?.
You need the number off the plate to see what it really is it should have 7200 in the number otherwise its guesswork.
An RS2 turbo is good for way over 300hp.
