THOUGHTS: FITTING GT2871R to stock engine without mods.. Only revo stage 1...

[Dscott]

Guys,

I am speaking to as many people as possible about this and reading many forums.

Atp turbos built a bolt on GT2871R kit for our 1.8T Transverse engine - 'Turbo kit includes turbo and up-pipe along with 3" upper downpipe to merge GT2871R turbo to stock exhaust manifold. Also uses upper downpipe to merge GT turbo with downpipe made for stock K03 turbo'

My car currently as follows:

9n3 GTI 1.8T with Revo stage 1, no other supporting mods.


My questions are:

1) Will it run?

2) Like ****?

3) Other than limiting the potenial of the turbo, what are the chances with this setup i would cause engine/turbo problems, running 1bar boost or even stock boost..?

I would imagine i would need to upgrade to a better inline fuel pump and do all breathing mods, 3" dump pipe & silicone intake piping..

Feedback welcome. Some may ask why... Reason being, i am seeing members with around 140 FWKW with mods like exhaust/front mount + the rest... Which obviously would cost at least $2,000.

I strongly believe from what i've read and my own experiances, this engine is largely limited by its turbo... Why not replace it first?

Ultimately, i do plan to go full stage 3.. however, i just want to run the turbo safely on a some what cheaper setup for about 6 months.
