Nope. Like I said it's bigger than the IS20 GTI turbo but it's not considered to be a "big" turbo.

Welcome to the forum. Being new you might want to get familiar with things before you start flaming. You'll get a lot of good advice but not with a closed mind. Oh and thanks for the compliment.
Garrett Motion G25-660 reverse rotation. Should be a rocket when it's all done. Still collecting parts for the build.

Haven't even heard of that one. I'm looking forward to your build.

G stands for Garrett, 25 is the series, and 660 is the max horsepower for that turbo.

It's not his opinion, it's a known fact. Just because you transfer the IS38 over to the GTI doesn't make it a BT setup.
What's the advantages of the hybrid you're looking at? And I'm assuming you didn't buy the IS38 from FCP?

They have a really good deal on the TPC20 right now. FREE Porting and Coating included. No time like the present to send in the used IS20 core Before and get that all for $1399. Looks like a fun turbo for someone that wants to stay at stock fueling.

It's ok to be mistaken about something man. Your queepy remarks like "run along now" and "have a good night" aren't gonna get you far around here.
As already clarified, "big turbo" is a specific terminology on this (and other) platforms referring to large turbos typically built by aftermarket developers such as the aforementioned G25, CTS Boss, DBV2, etc. IS20, IS38, IS12, are all OEM turbos, yes different sizes and some are bigger than others, but specifically saying "big turbo" means something different than "bigger than".
I don't know that I'd consider the G25 a big turbo. Full frame turbo, yes, but big, not quite. I feel like big turbo starts around the GT35 size, but I suppose it's all relative. anyway, let's get back on topic fellas. If the Golf R's only party trick that the GTI can't do all that well is snow and no prep dig racing, the GTI is the obvious bang for the buck winner.
