Why are the 2 liters better
Whats a nice turbo anyone can recommend either from using or reading up on  |
As teejay pointed out, 2.5 would make more torque sooner but would need extensive block prep if you plan on running large HP (think 350HP+)
2.0LSTI (207's) blocks/motors are generally favoured for rebuilds/conversions because they are proven to be very reliable. Even basic bolt ons similar to what you had on your my11 would result in a very quick street car (180-200kw), not as much torque but the point being you would be able to use it everyday knowing at least the engine would be ok.
I personally would go with what Wayne suggested, 207+ forgies + twinscroll, turn up the wick and as per my previous post, giggle like a school girl
simply because again, it works every time. 200-220kw all day everyday.
As for how the 5spd will cope....well I dont even want to guess (some break, some dont....its like that
)
