87silverTSi Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 I am fixing a 87 TSi up and the turbo is bad. I want to get 300-400hp out of it and I was told 300hp was pushing it with the stock turbo . I was wondering could I use a 88-89 turbo (direct bolt in) or would I need to modify it also I was told I could have it port & polished or something of that sort to make it flow more air what would you guys use??? also what after markets could I use direct bolt in???

87silverTSi Posted December 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 do you mean they are the same turbo or they have the same size inlets and outlets? If they are different how much more air does the 88-89 flow if any? thank for any help you can provide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow_quest Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 well moved or not this dude has a question.... Every turbo ever put on a Starion was a 12A mitsu turbo 320cfm@15psi, the Flatbodies and widebodies both had different turbo clockings (non Inter cooler to intercooler). Same guts tho....same flow... the basic street upgrade offered was a 14G, the standard is a 16G or 17C both will require some mods to your fuel supply and some smarting up on the IC pipe'n. http://www.forcedperformance.com http://www.micturbo.com Either place will get you what you need, (rebuild stock core). Good luck Yellow_quest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importwarrior Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 i think you need to run a syclone pickup turbo. 17C TD06 the larger exhaust wheel is a must have to achieve the HP you Desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
