I'm stock fueling, just reflashed with the v1.3 awd file. O2 spacer on the DP. So far, not a single issue. Came from APR stage 2, installed factory DP for initial run, then reinstalled downpipe with the spacer. According to the butt dyno, there's a moderate, but noticeable improvement in response and when downshifting to slow, you can sense the engine is choking less.Can anyone chime in before I buy? I have an aftermarket dp and am looking to upgrade the turbo with stock fueling, would this be the way to go or should I look into the vortex turbos?
After emailing APR, they state that the turbo may spin faster than designed after the introduction of an aftermarket DP. That is of course a "chance" that we would be taking. I've decided to go with the GT2260s instead, seeing that it offers a lot of benefit for the price.I'm stock fueling, just reflashed with the v1.3 awd file. O2 spacer on the DP.

We’re saying that the DTR really isn’t faster here, correct? Both turbos are fairly new and aren’t showing much for potential, though IE is claiming numbers close to 500 hp with their tune and the gt2260s.We can see that at least in current state of tune, it's not clearly better than an is38, even with added fuelling pumps.
A car that's slower in both 0 to 60 and in 60 to 130 is simply slower. "It's faster above 85MPH" sounds a lot like "Bro, if I hit someone full strength, I can break their nose and shoot pieces of their nose bone into their brains, killing them instantly." Just gimme the best 0 to 90- everything North of 92 MPH can lead to a week long vacation from driving and DUI level insurance impact.
The GT2260S is funny to me, because the turbo I wanted most for my Mk4 diesel was a GTB2260VK.

I'll take that Pepsi challenge any day, DTR w/DP vs IS38 w/o. DTR is faster, ESPECIALLY above 50-60mph. AND it is emissions compliant whereas the IS38 w/o DP is not. I'll get to the dragstrip or borrow a dragy when we stop having heat advisories and triple digit heat indexes, but that may not be anytime soon.We can see that at least in current state of tune, it's not clearly better than an is38, even with added fuelling pumps.

Do NOT compare the DTR to other turbo kits, it really has its own place in the market... And if you want more power, we sell a bigger kit.
I'd be pretty dissapoonted if a DTR with a DP, couldn't gap an oem turbo stock dpI'll take that Pepsi challenge any day, DTR w/DP vs IS38 w/o. DTR is faster, ESPECIALLY above 50-60mph.
