Looking for Turbo Recommendations

henryjc01 · 05-10-2020, 09:19 AM

I have a FBO N54 and now need to switch out turbos. I have been looking at the RBs, but don't need to drop 4-5 grand on these.

I am looking for opinions on what you guys recommend.

Why do you need to switch out? What’s goal etc?

The old ones tapped out on me. I'm FBO and MHD tuned so I'm sure that was part of it. Since I'm changing them I would like to boost HP also. Leaning towards the Vargas Stage 2 at this point

I've been thinking about the pure 600 turbos for when my stock turbos go. They are pretty new, price looks right.

Dynamic Autowerx has been quite popular recently and are reasonably priced.

If you plan on staying twins I would go either stock, Pures, or RB. Nothing else. After that I would just go single.

Ive been running MMP gen 3’s for a year (8k mikes) no issues. If I had to do it all over again I’d go single. But thats cause this isn’t my daily and I want even more power.

I daily my car, and like the idea of not having to run the PURE 600s maxed out and being at 550HP, having said that the shop that I like recommends the single turbo for anything more than that. I am currently running a flex fuel tune from MOTIV and think if I stick with that set up it will be a fun car. I can always play with the boost target for 93 and get more by running e60.
My shop would recommend a doc race set up for single.
