So you have it on an engine dyno?Here we measure car on crank not at wheels.

Otherwise it's some ratio picked out of the air (and 24% is super high for a dsg).
It's 377 whp because that's what counts/matters. Nobody cares about the crank hp.Here we measure car on crank not at wheels.
Yes - but these, from what I remember, were a significantly reduced cost.Eqt Vortex is still the logical mid tier turbo upgrade
Vortex is provenYes - but these, from what I remember, were a significantly reduced cost.
Only the smaller one is significantly cheaper than a vortex though and it’s not comparable, powerband or powerwise. I said it early on in the thread that the *BHP even Garett was posting was all just a theoretic number since they only ran ON CAR DYNO tests. *on 102 octane at that…Yes - but these, from what I remember, were a significantly reduced cost.
Keep in mind anyone can email Zage and ask for the TD06SL2-20G Mk7 turbo with standard or XL housing at a significantly reduced cost--but without a US-based warranty. If you want a cheap journal bearing spinner w/ a warranty, the Garrett stage 1 is still attractive, crappy canadian dynos aside.Only the smaller one is significantly cheaper than a vortex though and it’s not comparable, powerband or powerwise.

The larger one that’s based on a g25-660 would be comparable to a vortex (standard at that) powerwise but no where near the same early powerband. And that ones priced at almost $2,900.
That part number keeps pulling something completely different. And the zage website is corrupt… what was the invoice cost that you were given when you emailed them?Keep in mind anyone can email Zage and ask for the TD06SL2-20G Mk7 turbo with standard or XL housing at a significantly reduced cost--but without a US-based warranty.

Not accessible for us Canadians unfortunately, the duties and brokerage fees kill us. Gotta wait for TPC.Only the smaller one is significantly cheaper than a vortex though and it’s not comparable, powerband or powerwise.

I’ve said it plenty before, But when looking for a turbo upgrade for this platform that checks ALL the marks with a reasonable give and take - the vortex (both sizes) really is the cats meow… and that’s from someone who thinks their koolaid tastes like shit
