quicker spool

[oi8228oi]

i have a 99.5 and with the upgrades i have it does real nice on the highway but from a stand still it really lacks. i want quicker spool up so i can really move right off the line. i was thinking of getting a WW and new waste gate, but i dont know if i should go with a new housing or a whole turbo kit like the ones from BD, and Garrett. and at what point do i need to upgrade my intercooler...


basically i want to know whats the cheapest things i can do to get conciderably better performance off the line. and for later down the line what should i got about upgrading in what order...

is there any twin turbos diy or otherwise that i dont know of ?

Twin turbos will even give you a slower spool yet. Do you have upgraded injectors?

not yet

If you have the 1.0A/R housing you might consider going with the .84 A/R, it will spool quicker, the WW will help with turbo stall or surge.

New wastegate will net you little in off the line performance, but if you go that route, look into the Turbomaster wastegate, I have one and love it. No more computer control of the wastegate, if you want more boost crank down the 7/16 nut and you got it. A WW will help with stall and surge, but again it will not help with spool. A .84 housing (exhaust) will help the most.

Turbos will set you back ALOT!!! What you want to do is decide how far are you going to go... I spent way to much on stock turbo parts before getting the GTP-38r.

most guys that want faster spool..wind up to 1500 then release brakes and hit it.(hard on tranny)...dont really think you can get faster spool by just stomping on it..mine spools fast with the mods I did....hits 28 real quick on the boost gauge
