We had a unique opportunity to directly compare one of our EQT Vortex turbos to a Tomioka ihx475 turbo. These results are from the same exact 2015 GTI with all the same mods except for the turbo upgrade. Both tunes were run at around 28psi. For supporting mods, this car has a catted downpipe, intake, and intercooler. All tuning was done on 91 Octane fuel.
Blue is the Tomioka turbo and red is our EQT Vortex turbo. As you can see, they spool nearly identically, but our turbo makes more torque and power from 3000RPM to redline. Peak gains are about 34whp and 44ft-lbs and at certain parts of the powerband, we can see gains of nearly 50whp and 50ft-lbs.
Thanks
