If you select a Turbocharger, you will also receive the following:
Brand New Garrett BMW GTB Turbocharger with VNT17 Lever Conversion
or
Brand New Melett Turbocharger with MFS Billet Compressor Wheel & Actuator Lever Conversion
or
GTD2872VRK with MFS Billet Compressor Wheel & Actuator Lever Conversion
The only part not included in the kit is a boost outlet pipe. As there are many combinations of intercooler setup, we do not have one definite solution that will suit all builds, normally a 2" silicone 90° bend is all thats required
Here is a comparison of the various wheel sizes of the popular turbochargers, alongside the GTB and GTD Series turbochargers. Bare in mind that the GTD turbos have the latest 5th Generation VNT System, which is far superior to the previous systems, resulting in quicker spool and lower manifold pressures at high RPMs compared to older Gen Turbo's
Above is also a rough guide to what sort of power you can expect from each turbo, with a comparison to other popular turbochargers. This is assuming you have the appropriate supporting modifications for the individual turbocharger. The power figures are what is considered achievable under 'safe' parameters (Injection Duration, Exhaust Gas Temperature and Exhaust Manifold Pressures). Greater power has been achieved in the past with each setup, but in many cases this was pushing many of the components past their safe operating limits
GTD2872VRK - Please expect around a 6 week lead time on these turbochargers unless otherwise discussed
