Draino Donating Members 68 Member For: 4y 7m 29d Gender: Male Location: NT Posted 26/08/19 01:51 AM Share Posted 26/08/19 01:51 AM (edited) Gday Fellas, Nice digs you got here I have a cracked turbine housing on my high KM territory and want to fit a new turbocharger. I don't plan on huge boost (no one expects the inquisition either) and prefer low down grunt so the GTX3576 is on my radar. What model turbochargers can I bolt up to the factory manifold and dump pipe? Happy to change cold side inlet/outlet. Thanks you guys, there seems to be a tonne of experience here!

I would just replace with stock larger factory turbo and spend the saved cash on a tune. 11-12 psi with all factory gear and an exhaust de-bung and you will be surprised how well they go. Mine has no lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT3576, GT3582, GTX3576, GTX3582 Those are you main choices, all sharing the same rear housing. Just comes down to budget(if there's one), how fast you want to spool, and top end. To me the GTX3576 fits perfect and lose nothing down low even with the lower boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spools quicker than the gtx3582 and makes similar power. Then there are the procharge upgrades as well. Lots of good options. Maybe get whats cheapest locally and your tuner is familiar working with.

Draino Donating Members 68 Member For: 4y 7m 29d Gender: Male Location: NT Posted 26/08/19 10:52 AM Author Share Posted 26/08/19 10:52 AM I guess Im leaning to the 76 because I just dont rev the old bus that hard. Different story if it was a sedan. I mean cracked housing is one thing, then the fact the cartridge has done 1/4 of a million kms means I need a complete turbo. I suppose I should tell more about the setup plans: Debung the factory exhaust, 60lb injectors, airbox modded and run 1 bar tops. Its sad that the older I get, the more 'driveability' I want compared with that face melting boost hit. Maybe I should look at a Toureg How much more driveabillity can a 76 deliver over an 82 on a barra, if any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
