What are the issues?

472 hp without MPI ?

The L380x needs to be replaced and for my driving and being at altitude, spool seems to be what i think about the most.

Is the 2260 the same turbo as it was a few years ago? It seemed the consensus was that it was a crap turbo, too hard to tune the wastegate. Did they fix that, or have people just learned good methods to tune it? Do you think it would be too hard for a low-intermediate tuner to tune it using...

The 90° twist of the exhaust channels

That’s an interesting piece. It doesn’t look like it preserves the separation of the two exhaust channels. Which seems like a strange choice, to me. But I don’t know anything. Because it seems the one value of this would be to be able to use a twin-scroll full frame turbo.

VW claims these exhaust manifolds are setup for twin scroll. I wonder why that option is not implemented, except via APR’s Borg-Warner adapter, and supposedly with Garrett’s 2260s. Or … I‘ll email Zage and see if they’ll make a GTX3067R twin-scroll.

Ok. Good to know.

Maybe the Mamba Boomslang GTX2867 ? I asked our (soon to be) robot overlords, and here’s ChatGPT‘s response: deleted

If you’re good, removing the turbo and reinstalling it is 5 hours; if you’re really good, less; but if you’re not good, like my first and second and third times, it’s like 10-15 hours of frustration. That lower oil line - I still have PTSD from that.

$34 at Amazon for a turbo system leak tester. Done and done. (well, not really)

I just thought of an interesting experiment to maybe dtermite if it’s the turbo or a boost leak. im going to to drive down to sea level, its only an hour and change away; if it‘s a boost leak, the max boost should be the same. If it’s the turbo, it should probably be able to boost more at with...

Thank you guys for your responses. Aaron, it’s an L380x turbo. With those thick Ebay intercooler, they are basically moved back towards the engine, and that charge hose that goes between the charge pipe and the intercooler gets kinked when it’s making its S-bend. I’ll take another look at that...

I'll put it over here so I don't pollute this thread any more: https://golfmk7.com/forums/index.php?threads/i-put-a-2-0-in-my-alltrack.455481/post-8117792

My progress so far. I can't get rid of a 64 torque limit code. I've been over all the tables from "The Basics" guide multiple times. 64 = Temporary torque limitation because of operation at maximum absolute charge air pressure setpoint...

Yeah, it does seem the optimal choice right now but I’m having trouble getting more than18 PSI of boost out of it in both a OS tune and a maestro tune, so I suspected the turbo. But it’s not fair of me, because I’m still using stock timing, cams, and wastegate settings. And I just remembered I...

Ok. Thank you.

Do you think this Zage turbo with the 68mm/52mm compressor wheel would be a good “small Vortex”, between an is38 and a vortex? A little less power than the Vortex, with a little better spool. Spool sucks at altitude, and then you have the fact that you need a bigger turbo to blow a higher...

I flashed the stock tune onto it, and it ran fine. No CEL for hundreds of miles, and I was able to pass smog. Can I disable the error code for P168c ? What do the numbers in the 1x1 tables mean for the error codes? Failure class I guess. Can I get rid of the error? I’ve been tuning it, my...

How strange? In TunerPro they are both zero. That's somewhat worrisome; what else is off? And is it reading the right memory location? Then will it write the correct memory location? I spent many frustrating hours last night trying to figure out how the ECU is figuring out the displacement, just...
