EQT Vortex Supporting mods?

[Nerdy Oreo]

No benefit and you'd actually need a revision from EQT for $75 to use it with your stage 2 tune. People install and using them with 93 tunes to have the flexibility to use a different tune with E.

That makes sense and oo thanks for the link

So let me see if i fully understand. For the EQT Vortex (not XL) all I need now is engine mounts, colder spark plugs, and a hpfp, (and the intercooler once spring rolls around)?

Engine mounts not required, but they make a big difference at that power level.

I was looking at the green stage 2 ones by bfi. Would you recommend stage 1 or 2 engine mounts? I was thinking just going stage 2

Completely depends on your tolerance for NVH. If you're DSG, the dogbone insert is the one that gives off the most. I noticed no difference in NVH with my stage 1 engine and trans mounts after I installed them with my stage 2 dongbone insert.

Yeah I'm curious about how my Dogbone mount and insert will feel. It's from ecs. I haven't had the time or mo ey to install it yet lol. I have to rent a lift to be able to do it. It's cheap at $20 per hour and I am able to use all of their tools but idk how long it will take so I can take it off from work. This is the mount and insert package I got.

They also do free welding classes on Thursday nights (at least they used to, idk if they still do but I assume they do)

You know of any spots for e85? I'm moving to Plainville in a few weeks and if there's one close enough that it's worth it I might spend the 175 for a second eqs tune for e85 and grab a e85 fuel kit for the required parts. I've heard e85 is dirt cheap

It'll be another $600 for an e85 tune from EQT with the Vortex. There are no base maps (the $175 tunes) for Vortex turbos.

That makes sense. Honestly would be worth it down the line.

Thank you very much. I have a BFI dogbone to do, and that's close enough to make it worthwhile.
