K26 turbo upgrade
« 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
aum no spec as no matter what i do il never be happy

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

exactly the same as a t3/t4 turbo, lots of lag

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


Audi TT - K04 TFSI Hybrid - 325BHP
VW Golf - k03 AGU - 200BHP

1.8T AGU..

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