Yeah. I should also help Infamous out here and let you all know it's a 2000 with 110,000 miles, but it has a new head and pistons. Everything else original. Head and pistons have about 20,000 miles on them, right infamous?

plan is to go from stock k turbo to t3/t4 hybrid with upgraded piping and front mount, pushing roughly 24psi (1.63bar) . Recommendations?

260/270hp max is reliable with turbo upgrade :thumb:

hmmmmmmmmmm risky im sure a t3/t4 is gonna put me close to 275...:mecry:

The S3 225hp turbo is a good choice : Corrado 1L8T vs Mitsu Evo 6

Videos are off-line but I still have them if you want them

I know this is a crime to say but get the upgraded turbo and turn the boost down a bit to run 250hp, that should be decently safe since your head and pistions are new...I can't find upgraded rods for a 2000 1.8T anywhere, what am I doing wrong?

if your talking about a 1.8t, they can handle around 300whp on stock internals.

[BigDon]

yeah, but they can only hole about a maximum of 10 psi on stock internals

jabba chip or remaps here for the 1.8 vag turbo run 1.1bar and are 212bhp. all stock so they can hold alot more boost then 10psi stock.bottom end is forged standed.(im sure they are)

umm i dont think you know what your talking about
a motor cant handle a certian amount of psi, it that amounth of power. you could have a little turbo at 20, but u can only handle a bigger one at 10 psi.
