Thank you for the compliment - without a doubt you are 100% correct. The latest Garrett product is overrated. Borg is by far superior - see here for a side by side comparison.

Hi Chris, firstly great video content. I currently have a TD04HL-15G on my Toyota 4age fwd engine which is great but I want similiar if not better spool up which holds better till the redline. Would you recommend this turbo for my car?
Thank you for the compliment - im glad to hear you enjoying the channel. The 4AGE is no slouch - it flows similarly if not better than larger 4Cyl engines. Unfortunately the small frame TD04 turbo will not provide high power in the higher RPM range, unless you use the larger AR turbine housing options with larger turbine and compressor trim sizes, BUT this will create lag - you cant have both worlds im afraid.
@@dagger22 Take a look at the compressor map, and you will see that in true BorgWarner fashion the map touches the 54lb/min lines, which relates to a real work 540HP, although it's only claimed to be a 500HP capable turbo. So is the 7163 claimed to be a 550HP capable turbo yet that makes 550WHP on the golf7R platform from personal experience. The 6758 will see you to a realistic 500HP no problem at all. This turbo is a beaut because of the great ange of turbine housing AR options available - from the small AR64 (t25/28) up to the AR85 (t25/28) options in T25 flange face, Vband and T4 twin scroll inlet options.
Hi thank you for this info I am looking for a street turbo that spools early and fast , for a lancer gts 2.0 and i plan to run this turbo with a 272 cam and hp goals of 350-400bhp at 15-17psi of boost and max rpm of 7-8k Now my only question is do u recomend this turbo or the gtx2867r or the gtx2871r And what A/R housing size? Im just lookin for a turbo that will spool early and boost like until 6k rpm or more Thank you
For the Mitsubishi engine lineup - this is where i would look for the power and boost you intend to run -- There are three options in ball bearing and journal bearing available to you. turbodirect.co.za/store/index.php/shop/category-layout/results,1-24?virtuemart_category_id=&keyword=gtx307+forged&limitstart=0&option=com_virtuemart&view=category&Itemid=541
What kind of problems am I going to have if I want to use this small unit with a 2.8l 12v VR6? I noticed you said on the 2563 video that such a turbo is too small for a 2.5l engine to make 300hp. I don't really understand this, 30lbs/min is 30lbs/min whether it's going into and coming out of 1.6l or 2.8l. I expect you are going to say the small turbine volute will choke the exhaust, but why would it choke a 2.8l engine at one power level and not a 1.6l engine at the same power level? Thanks.
You will experience issues with heat buildup due to the small AR of the turbine housing if you installed this on such a large engine. The turbine side of the turbocharger small and will spool up very quickly, and due to the small AR of the turbine housing it will not be able to flow what the engine is forcing out the exhaust. The backpressure will be so high that a huge amount of heat will be generated as a result. You will make the power that the compressor offers, but after around 4000-4800rpm the power and torque will fall away drastically and the intake temps will increase. Using the AR64 turbine housing will help alot, but your power will still fall away up top rpm. I would opt for something like the GTX3071R with AR63 turbine housing on this size engine.
@@TurboDirectSA Thank you for your thoughtful response. My goal here is really to get a similar torque curve as an OEM: flat from 2000rpm-5500rpm. I recall from your reply to my last comment about turbine housing selection that it's basically too complicated to guesstimate, so your experienced suggestion is the next best thing. Thank you.
Hello ! Great video ! Will this turbo suit a Mitsubishi colt czt 1.5liter (4G15T engine). Engine will be forged, want to use it for races on track and hillclimb. aiming 350hp. Thanks
@@GAETANOFSKI Its impossible to say - there are just too many variables. What Ignition advance, what fuel, what AFR, what supporting hardware, what CR, has the head been flowed, what CFM flow rate is the head capable of.... Do you have the engines VE? Its just not possible to say unfortunately. We export to all countries no problem.
Hey! I have a CA18 1.8 liter engine I'm hesitating between the 2867 ar64 or ar49 And the 2863 ar64 I want the most responsive turbo for 380-400whp Could you guys help me out please ? :)
Hi EyZow, thank you for the comment, what is the car being used for? Is it a drift car, or street car etc? What boost are you planning on running and what fuel is being used to make this target HP?
@@TurboDirectSA mainly a street car with a bunch of drift events here and there I don't know for boost but I'm going for e85 The engine is bored to 83.5mm (83 stock) with a 9.0CR
@@eyzwh I would opt for a larger turbocharger to be honest, this way you wouldnt need to run the turbo close to its max all the time, this will generate less heat and you will make the power at a lower boost level. If you planning on having a mild setting and a higher setting in terms of boost levels, then the GTX2867R with the AR64 would be the better option. You will have to run around 1.5-1.6bar boost to achieve this power, possibly more, depending on the engines condition, supporting hardware, fuel etc.
@@TurboDirectSA okay thanks A LOT for the info I just loved the way it was running with the stock turbo, really responsive so I don't want to lose that haha
@@eyzwh 100% - keep in mind that the stock turbo is journal bearing and the GTX28 is dual roller bearing - you will see slight additional lag, BUT there is a massive HP increase aswell.
