N55 Turbo Upgrade Options
Yes I have searched, and I know there are options from the following vendors:
Pure Turbo
VTT
Steam Turbo
Big Boost
So my goal is an honest, reliable and consistent 400whp. I would also like the power to pull in the higher rpm range than stock. This would be on 93 octane. This setup also must handle tracks days however it can be de-tuned if needed.
Turbo replacements seem to come in two flavors. 1, where the manifold and turbo housing stay and only the compressor and turbine wheel are replaced. 2, where the entire turbo frame and manifold are replaced.
Typically it seems most "stage 1" turbos are the first type and all "stage 2" or higher are the second type. So here are my questions:
How do the two types compare regarding installation difficulty? How much time is saved by going with just the type 1?
How much HP will the stock fuel system support?
Will the type/stage 1 type turbo replacements fulfill my hp goals?
Finally, what option would you go with and why?
Thanks,
