    15 s3 cts bb550 stage 3 numbers????

    Alright guys and gals taking my 2015 S3 in Tuesday to get Rods, Pistons, MPI, lpfp with PM4, and adding E85 woth the Eurodyne Maestro tune. Already have IE DP, IE intercooler, autotech hpfp, and cts cai installed. I have a cts bb550 hybrid turbo in currently as I was in a pinch when I blew the stock turbo a while back. What should I be expecting from this setup here in Colorado? And goofy question is should I try to rush order an EQT vortex xl or run the hybrid till it does? Thanks for the help.

    The new stage 3 turbos from Garrett seem like a great option for you:

    Thanks for the input my shop actually just mentioned the bigger version of this turbo. I will see how this small hybrid acts for now and see if I can get my hands on one of the Garrett's after the first of the year.

    Its been my experience this is the exact question you ask the shop/tuner installing all the above listed items!

    After all you are paying them $$$$ for the performance and HP!

    Have them put it on their dyno if they got one and you will know its numbers!
    2015 S3 with 210,000 miles with new 2019 Q5 motor. Still going!

    The new turbo's are still to new...needs a few folks to bolt one on and drive it like they stole it!

    I think the plan will be to wait a few months to see how the Garrett 25-660 performs. Otherwise the car is in the shop now getting the rest of the goodies pit on. Can't wait too see how she drives.
