No way the stealth kit "stage 1" or the cheater turbos will make that kind of power i would look for stg 2 or the 3. I have the stage 3 kit and it makes a big difference with that turbo compared to the k26 i had before. Even with the maf 83lbs injectors and 3 bar Fpr the car diddent feel close to what it does with the new turbo.

Adonay, at what rpm are you hitting 15 psi?

330RWHP is nothing and can easily be done with a K27/6 turbo, test pipe, increased fuel pressure, chips, and a piggy back fuel controller.

A good wastegate and boost controller is a must... and the Tial 46mm is the best.

You want the turbo that will whip the soonest and still get you the power you want.

The K27/6 is hard to beat at that power level and is probably the least expensive as well. I would suggest you get dyno charts of thecar using the turbo you're contemplating to use, in the power range you want, and post them here. Then we can over lay them to see which one provides the quickest spool while supporting the power level you're looking for.

Isn't it funny the different whp you get from country to country. My friend's Stage 3 VR kit gets about 270whp at 1 bar down here. Car pulls really well from 3000rpm up to redline so there's nothing wrong with it. He's just behind GT3s too, just different dyno's I guess.

The problem with the K27/6 (or 8) is that they are hard to find and sending in av K26/8 to get it to a K27/8 is not that much cheaper than getting the SFR turbo.

One of the problems is to actually get info from someone using the K27/6 or 8
or the SFR hybrids so I haven't got any charts to show.

You haven't looked hard enough. The k27/6 has been around for about 30 years. Ask Tim at SFR, and he'll hook you up. Go to the Vitesse website and look at the charts.

OR just go to Vitesse and get an integrated system, from the get go.
It's a no brainer.

No, it's just that you guys have Meteoric Hp. We just can't compete when it comes to Saturn Boosters.

The Stage 1 kit (actually the Stealth kit and will be renamed as such) is not designed to support 330rwhp. The Stealth based on K26/8 turbo could make the power, but you will need to run higher boost. The Stealth kits were designed to increase the power to around 300rwhp. Enough power to give someone the edge but keep the factory look.

If you want in the 300-330rwhp, we are bout to release a new turbo (will be a Stage 1). It will provide good performance and is competitively priced. If you are not in a rush, you might wait a couple of weeks for the release.

A dyno is just a measuring tool. Comparing numbers and charts from different dynos is very difficult. A before and after on the same dyno is very valuable to extract useful data. Comparing your dyno results to other cars (a stock 951) on the same dyno will be more helpful to determine the power gain.
Even in the US, a Mustang dyno will read differently than a DynoJet, than (fill the blank with the different dynos). Even similar brand dynos will give slightly different results.
The dyno is great for tuning and for a before and after comparison. The shape of the power band is more important than the actual numbers..

What I meant is that it's not easy to find any K27/6 for sale here in Sweden and since I have a K26/8 the "upgrade" to a K27/6 is not cheap.
How much power is the K26/8 original turbo good for?

A Vitesse kit would be great, the reasons for not going with that as my first choice is the $ to SEK ratio and the Swedish 25% VAT which makes these kits a bit expensive

Not discounting the turbo you're selling (nor am I familiar with them...), but in my opinion, for a street driven daily driver car, anything using the KKK ~8 hot side is too laggy (just like the K26/8 is)

The additional power ain't worth the lag. If people are willing to deal with the lag of a ~8 turbine, they might as well go to something bigger and get it over with...

The beauty of the K27/6 is the balance of price & quick boost. It just happens to support the 325RWHP range.

Why don't you do a custom compressor capable of supporting 330RWHP on a KKK~6 turbine? That would be the setup.
