GT30 experience?

Post by sam_vw »

A friend has offered me a great deal on a gt30 turbo. but as far as i know most guys on here would run the gt28 set up. has any one experience or advice regarding this turbo or even an opinion, and in terms of size im wondering how close it would come to the bulkhead :shock:

cheers

I think you should have a chat with bill at badger 5 as he helped with the instal and mapped it so can give a true reflection on how it performed.

Personally I don't think you'll be disappointed.
If I was you I'd do it. :mrgreen:

That's the turbo I have for my mk1 golf I'm building and the engines a 2.0 16v
