Advice on my turbo setup

[dumped1.8t]

Blew the turbo on my 1.8 and went out and bought an apr stage 3+ turbo kit.
I was wondering would they be anything else besides exhaust, intercooler, intake and clutch that ill be needing for this setup? If so which parts do u recommend.

APR's website says rite there, suspension and brake upgrades are recommended so yea there, you have you answer.

yea I read that part but am asking which are the best products.

pick up a awe stg 3 clutch and flywheel kit, a borla exhaust and either an ebay fmic or a precision core and make your own piping- the exhaust mite be a tad on the small side but ive never had a cop say its loud, even after getting a ticket for having my exhaust cut our open i went to a police station and the cop told me the borla was quiet and waved the ticket

If you are using a stock bumper a racetec fmic will work, but if you plan on running a larger front bumper the ER Comp is the best choice and can be ordered in black for no extra charge.

For the apr stage 3+ you will want either a Southbend stage 4 or stage 5, the stage 3 might not be enough.


For exhaust I would say Milltek if you want something that is not loud.

Our Stage 3 Clutch Kit will be able to handle the power.

If you want a higher stage Southbend Clutch, just let me know. We can get whatever you need.

standard southbend Stage 3 is only rated for 300 tq. That is under the rating of what a gt28rs can make at the crank.

I've verified all of our torque ratings with Southbend Directly. The Stage 3 Southbend Clutch, Part Number K70205OFE, is rated to 335 lb ft.

That is the FWD rating torque rating for the stage 3, that info is right on their web ste.

300 AWD
335 FWD


So we are both right but for 2 different driveline setups.

[speedydragon]

I don't think you really need to upgrade your brakes unless you plan on tracking/streetracing/ or bringing your car to the strip

well i have been running that clutch for 10k+ and had not one instance of a slip, even after roasting the tires around corners, o yea it was on the car for 5 months prior also-edit actually i only have the stg 2...unless he plans on launching the shit outa it, hed be fine with that setup-and awe rates it at 350tq
