Project Frontrash GT3071R :)

Umm, not really. Here are the specs per ATP


As you can see, compressor specs are very similar. It's mainly the exhaust side and housing differences that account for the slightly higher power rating and flow up top. Which is why the spool characteristics are so close between your GTRS and this turbo.

Believe me, I looked into all this years ago. If I ever went past my eliminator setup, it was going to be a 3076. Sadly, my car was totalled before that could happen.

not even close.....

Most I have seen from a 71r elim is 33x AWHP. I have seen well over 400 fwhp from a 3071.

Example #1


Example #2

2 liter
3071r
104 octane
HP & TQU at the wheels.


Almost 450FWHP

Thank you, wasnt sure how to respond to that because I know the turbo's are not anywere close as far as power levels

Are you really arguing this with me? My point was that 50whp is a nominal difference to change setups to me. Just as you have seen a couple in the 400 whp, and they are far in the minority of 3071r setups, there are many in the 350whp range. I have seen many 2871r setups in the 350 whp + range also. Look in up on vortex if you odn't believe me. And yes, the turbos do have similar specs. The main difference in the gt71r vs gt2871r is the trim on the compressor wheel trim is slightly smaller, resulting in better midrange, but tapering power in the upper rpms.

The whole point of me posting is that Shawn would have no problem running his car at higher boost levels, as you can see, even at 18 psi, the power is much less than his GTRS. Which agrees with everything I have already said. If that were a 3076 or higher, I guarantee the 18psi would be above his old number.

Either way, I was just trying to amp Shawn to boost it to 22 psi, as it will be safe at that level, given the track records of our VW cousins. Being that I had a BT on my B6 5 years ago, and went thru 3 different setups, I think I know a little of what I am talking about.
