New Turbo - Stage2 Fensport Or Turbotechnics?

[Buckie]

Hi there!

I posted a question a few days ago in which I am loosing boost in 1st and 2nd, little in 3rd but holds in 4th and 5th. When I keep the foot on the floor in 2nd or 3rd after about 4500K revs, the boost goes completely infact the guage goes into negative????

Checked the pipes etc etc - no leaks... Phoned Fensport who tell me it could be the "actuator" also the performance garage I use say the same....

Both Fensport and the-garage tell me if I am going to replace the actuator, may as well replace the turbo at same time.

Therefore going for a stage2 CT26 from fensport, but waiting to hear back from turbo technics -

Anyone have experience of the stage2, is it a massive amount better than the stage1??? - I was running my old turbo at 1.2 bar, so I am confused on how these stage1 and 2 turbos are any different? - what am I expecting from them, massive amount of power increase less turbo lag etc etc.

Any help on this is very appreciated!!!!

Hi Buckie

I have just got a stg 1 ct26 from Turbo technics, they told me its ratted upto about 380 hp, I also enquired about the stg2, but was asked about my engine mods and told that there was no point as my stock injectors / pistons / cons rods would not be able to match it, so it would be a waste of time and money.

stg 2 is ratted to over 500hp (TT said)

id give them a ring and ask personnaly mate, they are very good.

I have just got my stg1, and its going on tomorrow !

also, replacing an actuator is like max £100 for a fully adjustable, so the comment, you MAY AS WELL replace the turbo seams abit extreme as turbos are £100's of pounds !

These hp figures seem way out of sink......iv'e never heard of any type CT26 making anything over maybe 320hp??

Yeah, they are totaly different to the hp figures given on fensports web site, but they do a stock, stg1, 2, 3 turbo (ct26)

Turbo technics only do a stock ,stg 1, 2

so stg 2 (TT) must be a stg 3 from fensport ? ;)
