Title: What turbo for daily driver 2.0 20v
Post by: Olivia88 on October 13, 2023, 06:05:20 AM
Hello, which turbo would be a good choice for a daily driver ?

It's a Polo 6n that im fitting with mq350 02q gearbox, and engine is going to be 2.0 20v. So around 1100 kg
I would like around 450 hp, but retaining daily driveability is more important.
How much spool is sacrificed with a s246sx compared to a efr 6758 ?
And how much hp can be had from the s246sx and s251sx ? I couldn't find anything concrete on the internet.

Im considering these turbos for the moment:

BW s246sx
BW s251sx
efr 6758
G25-550

Pulsar fake G25-550 is the best bang for the buck.
Efr is very modern tech but expensive.
BW SX is old shit without water cooling

450hp in a polo 6n is far from daily driver. lol

Are the pulsar turbos enough reliable ?

450hp is not "daily driver" on this platform, you will have full boost at around 4000 rpm in lower gears and 3000 rpm in higher gears.
Only way to do a fast start will be via launch control with ignition retard and use flat shift.

Also a such amount of power on a FWD car is a complete waste of time.
Even with an LSD 350hp is plenty on this 1100kg car, you will have wheelspin until 70+ km/h.

Thank you for your advice.
Maybe I'll go with k04-064 instead.

I have a high hp FWD car and trust me go awd car or smaller turbo or different goals.


If you wanna do some custom fabrication an IS20 would be a nice match for example, maybe even an is38.
These days I would not put on a non twinscroll turbo on a small displacement engine. Try to modernize things as best you can.

I did run stock K04-064 at one time in the past and it was the best setup for curvy roads.
Its relatively cheap and you havent to fight with chinafold, ridiculous expensive upgraded k04020/23 and screws getting loose.

i still have this turbo available depending on where you live
