EQT Vortex - MQB Turbo

[SugarMouth]

Littco and DBV2 turbos are also very good but cost more money.

L450 with WG and DV is roughly $1600 at today's exchange rates (US). That is a 400whp on pump and roughly 440whp on E40-50 turbo.

Not the power of a EQT but a great value proposition especially for a traction limited GTI.

I haven’t seen any data on the newer DBV2 turbos... did they significantly improve spool? The older ones spooled about 1000rpm later than ours.


Thanks

I believe that still to be the case on spool. They are peaky but make power up top. This is an S3 on a Mustang Dyno. For a car that is driven on the street the curve of the EQT is my preference. The DBV2 will feel like a big turbo Supra and the EQT will feel like a supercharged LT4.

hard to compare different setups in different places but I have not seen any dyno charts of any other turbo for this platform spool faster than the EQT setups I've seen. actually not even close from what I've seen at >400whp. EQT seems to spool about 1000 rpm faster than Boss500 too and make more power.

The V2 Boss turbos are actually quite good. Here is a Boss600 here at 5200ft elevation. This was a 3rd gear pull.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I always thought the L500 was closer to the EQT than the L450.


L500 no WG no DV shipped is $2,382 USD

I can recommend the L450 for the value but as soon as you go L500 it is still $200 more even after you add a WG and DV to a EQT. And really you want the DV off your current turbo, not the DV that comes with the L500 unless you change the spring. So we are looking at maybe even $300 more if you use your current DV.

So L450 for the complete $1600 option, The EQT for the complete $2k option.

Need to see more of these EQTs filling the tear jar in Mexico.



Saw a suspect one vs a Hellcat but was quite impressed.

I need a go pro or something, I can run my buddy in his c6 zo6 built motor, he ran 40-168 in a half mile, no fly zone

You need to be careful with who you run....


... you might end up without friends

Lol nobody wants to get beat buy a vw hatch with a car seat in it. I cant get anyone to run me since I have put the eqt in, i tried to get a subie hatch to play last night but all he did was a quick speed up then that was it, the subie guys in this town never want to play

Here is the log of boost and IATS of the dyno run at 30psi no meth spray. Thanks Jay for editing the log

Once these cars get quick, it's tough to get races unless they're pre-arranged. Even a good running IS38 you have to be careful not to scare off randoms.

I was playing with an RS3 over the weekend and did a short WOT pull and he lost all interest after that and refused to run...and Railroader has 90whp on me.

That's because the Subie guys know better not to now.

A proper C6 Z06 can make over 600whp N/A. They are light (roughly 3150 lbs) with great gearing as well.
