3. K03 turbo (audi) internal waste gate

Why on earth does everybody want to slap such a big turbo on such a small motor? Get a T25 off of ebay for $100.

Check out homemadeturbo.com too.

My 240 ran low 13's with a T25 . . . and it was a 2.0 liter. The T25 should be fine for your 1.5l.

just take 1100 bucks and buy a good name brand turbo kit, like greddy or you will be sorry

I have never turbo'ed a honda, but the HMT website is a great source of info. You better not spend over $400 to tubo your car -> its pointless as your parts are mostly pipes/manifolds.

racer_XX · 09-13-2007, 02:21 PM

im thinking of buying a complete kit greddy turbo and internals all done, but seeing as i never turboed before i am just runnin all stock with a HMT. Ive learned doing things for the first time never end as expected so id rather have my mistakes done on sumthin a lil less expensive lol. dont get me wrong ive rebuilt min-me's, 2.4 prodigy engine, sir etc... but turbo? ill see what my HMT gets me. if i go threw with it expect to see it in a couple months.

c97x · 09-14-2007, 09:19 AM

id just buy a full bolt on kit, that way you know you didnt look over anything needed. im not really a fan of hmt's thats how my last kit was n i dont trust it but w/e

Cashizslick · 09-14-2007, 10:13 AM

^ care to share any insight w/us as to what happened or how your car ran?

c97x · 09-15-2007, 08:22 AM

runs fine, i bought all the turbo kit parts, but then i sold the whole kit i assembled for 1000 bucks. i never even put it on because i wasnt ready, im not doing any severe engine mods until spring when the winter beater goes off the road.

so i sold the hmt and will probably buy a pre-fabed kit
sorry for the thread jack

racer_XX · 09-18-2007, 10:05 AM

lol no worries

Matts96HB · 09-24-2007, 10:49 PM

umm yeah, take your 1100 and piece together your own. much cheaper, and as long as you buy a quality manifold, turbo, and wastegate you should be ok
