Yes the GTW pushes harder uptop and will create that highter rwkw figures if anyone wants a good deal on anything genuine Garrett buzz me a pm 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would need a small housing and large ext gate to perform anywhere near a gtx in terms of response. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think most new turbo choices are redundant due to how versatile the 35r hotside is. The stock turbine wheel and housing can go 500 with the right mods and comp wheel and cover or can have lightning fast spool thatll give supercharged 8s a run for its money torque wise. I really dont understand this GTW range I feel like im missing something Also where were you with that 6 months ago when I bought my mamba gtx2860 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gtw is not bolt on and neither is a gtx. The gtw needs more fitting by far. With the modifications required, although not excessive, coupled with the lag a gtw would bring, one would seriously need to think about staying with a gtx35r or modified gt35r even if the slightly larger power figure is tempting.

Or is it always a new setup I haven't done it myself so I can't speak from experience. The bloke who is modding my stock turbo had reservations about the amount of material available in the turbine housing to fit the gtw3884r wheel.
