I went L450...good to see more people running both options. We'll get some good comparisons soon.

Railroader and I were within 1whp on our IS38 setups. :D

At least we have a base now when we dyno the new turbos for comparison, I only have one dyno in town so it will all be on the same dyno lol

So are the IS38s installed in GTI’s more prone to blowing out than the stock ones in a tuned R? If thats the case, whats the deal?

How aggressive the tune is makes the difference, not R vs Gti

Either way the IHI turbos aren’t known for reliability

DBV2 will buy the blown is38. I also have an is20 and is38 wastegates lying around both new in case you or hoon want to buy them so you can sell your turbo complete. either works just fine.

Appreciate it, I'll probably just keep my is38 wastegate and decide later what to do with the is38. In the process now of removing stuff, pull charge pipe of the ic, post ic that goes to throttle body and no evidence of any material yet, I'm going to pull the dp right now

Ok here it is, not the best pics, was done with my bore scope, thinking everything shot out the exhaust but I'll find out.

Why is everyone blowing their sh*t?? Did VW hide a hidden time bomb in the long coding to keep us hooked for more!!?? Answers MOM

Praying all went out that cb, but knowing mk7s I'm sure it more than likely did. Seriously reviewing the tomioka now

Looks like Ramons. You'll find the wheel in the muffler. Clean out everything real well. Clean the map and put sensors well. Probably have to do those a few times. It'll smoke for a week.

Just did the exhaust on it lol, I'll have to check, it's a straight through muffler. So do you all recommend tacking the ic off and flushing it out.
