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 Title: Re: What turbo for daily driver 2.0 20v Post by: aef on October 13, 2023, 06:11:22 AM 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 Title: Re: What turbo for daily driver 2.0 20v Post by: Olivia88 on October 13, 2023, 06:19:34 AM Pulsar fake G25-550 is the best bang for the buck. Are the pulsar turbos enough reliable ?Efr is very modern tech but expensive.

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.

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.

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 Title: Re: What turbo for daily driver 2.0 20v Post by: Olivia88 on October 14, 2023, 12:10:10 AM I did run stock K04-064 at one time in the past and it was the best setup for curvy roads.
