.....about my car.


With all the turbo threads going, I wanted to get more info on mine. I climbed under the car a few minutes ago and found out I don't have what I thought I had.

This is what I have :




The guy that sold me the car called it a K28 Cheater .... which was supposedly a hybrid turbo with the best characteristics of a K27 and a K29 ?

Obviously it's not a K28 but a K27 7200. I guess this is pretty much standard fare for these cars ?

 

3DLZ was the stock turbo.

 

Right, but the K27 7200 was pretty much the standard 'upgrade' for quite a while?


I am wondering with B&B headers, modified K&N intake, web regrinds, and a 1 bar spring in a Tial F40 wastegate if I can do better on the turbo?

 

Lucky you!

 

Why do you say that? ...because the K28 was such a pig ?

 

No... he says that because poor bastards like He and I still have stock turbos.. hahah!

 

The 7200 is a good turbo. There are better but for the money and every day driving, it's good. Unless you start upgrading engine parts, I wouldn't bother to get another one.

 

Yes, because he has a 7200 without even realizing it while I'm stuck having to buy one.

 

I may be selling the K27 7200 I bought sometime back because the guys putting my car together want to use a Garrett. I originally bought it to upgrade from stock....but now may not be using it.

 

Whoops .... oh well ......
