I think the dbv2 is a solid choice. the dbv2 is also in the 10s but on pump, not e85gas, in full weight cars so it shows that it too can make serious power. sure it is a bit more but the savings in the just the fueling system offset the extra cost when comparing to the other $2k turbo out there in the market.
If you reread some of vargass' posts you will see he is quite happy to say that his $2k turbo is cheaper, which it is. But what he fails to mention is all the glorious results he has had with his setup takes the same amount ( or more) $$$ to achieve the bosses or efr he claims he is cheaper than.
He also refuses to divulge any info on who/where his turbo is made. Would you really buy turbo that you do not know the answer to these questions
I will let up on him when he answers those questions and admits that to achieve his goals it cost him just as much as the other " more expensive " options out there
DBV2 has a GTI in the 10's? Really please post that up, if they have a Golf R in the 10's, you might as well be talking, Apples, and Oranges. Golf R's can launch much harder than GTI's. Look we all know you are here to hate. That you think it costs more to achieve these results shows you are just that a hater. Let's break down what a turbo does, it pumps air. It's a glorified air pump. It does nothing else. It does not add fuel, it does not add timing, it does not do any of those things. ANY turbo that adds enough air to make 530+WHP is going to need upgrades to fueling, tune, the list goes on to do so safely. Go ahead, list what it took APR to get their GTI in the 10's piece by piece, with pricing. Also remember they had more weight loss than we did, and were running a dedicated track pack wheel/tire set up. We have 17" slicks on the front on a set of wheels that cost $130 for both, and stock wheels, and tires in the rear. If all these turbos could get GTI's in the 10's at any cost, where are they? There are a LOT of turbo upgrades out there. None have matched our performance in a GTI. As for the DBV2. Its a TD06 I believe. Someone post up a graph showing spool. We will gladly overlay it for you.
Again here is the challenge I am giving you:
Show us another GTI (Not Golf R) in the 10's with any turbo at any price
Show us another GTI running 3.17 0-60 with any turbo, at any price
Show us another GTI lapping a road course faster than a modified BMW F80 M3, that can just swap wheels, and tire, and go run 10's with any turbo at any price.
After you do all that:
Show us the same results with a turbo that cost under $2000, that is doing it all with a simple custom dual pump Walbro in the tank, a PR Aux fueling kit, UM tune, and E85. You keep saying how expensive our set up is.
Walbros are $75 each on Amazon, PR Aux fueling kit is $849. UM, tune is about $1500 with the parts we bought from them including the map sensors.
Hopefully, it doesn't take you too long to gather that info. If it does by the time you do, we will most likely have run faster, and quicker with our production version of the turbo... Cheers
