Anybody running the PTE GT3076R

[3slow]

Curious if it could handle 25-30 PSI pretty well? Any thoughts on it?

Sorry guys, got ahead of myself
My Setup

stock bottom end 6 bolt 2.0
Meth injection
BC 272 Cams+ spring kit
DSM Link
cometic headgasket
arp head studs
8000-8500 rpm rev limit
Walbro 255 and Aeromotive FPR
FIC 1150 injectors (yes I know they are overkill)
Basically, the FP3052 is very nice, but out of my price range, especially after all of the v band shit.

The PTE GT3076R is more modestly priced and has mitsu flange. Will it hold 25-30 PSI to 8000-8500 rpm? Any complaints about it? Thanks

overkill is a understatement! Why are you running so big of injectors? i have a gt3582r and i'm only running 1000cc you could be just fine with 850 or 880. What is the price difference between the pte and the FP? I wouldn't think it would be that much and FP with give you just about any flange you want they can probably do a dsm flange

Why is he running such a big injector? Probably because he can. What if his goals change in the future? DSMLink can make a 1150cc injector idle like a stocker & the cost between an 850 & 1150 isn't that much. It makes much more sense then having to buy another set in the future if his goals change. I origionally though the 750's I bought would be plenty big even if I upgraded again in the future. Well I have since had to sell the 750's & picked up larger 1050's, I can say it sucks having to spend money on the same part twice.

I haven't checked PTE lately but before there was a couple hundred difference between the PTE & FP (think its probably abit more now) but thats not the big part of the cost. With the FP you also have to figure in the Tial 44 vband wastegate, a vand O2 housing & a Vband dump that are required to run thier setup. With the PTE you can get away with the stock components if need be, so the price difference can be ~$1000 all said & done.

The PTE should be fine at these levels, now are you planning to run these boost levels daily? What kind of goals do you have as far as hp, spool, etc? Is additional lag an issue or are you looking for quick spooling? Answers to these questions will help us try & help with your desision.

The biggest problem is that the PTE3076RLE only comes with a 0.48 A/R turbine housing. With your mod list, I'd go with a bigger turbine housing (if you can find anyone who sells it with a bigger turbine A/R) or a different turbo.

Sounds like a great injector for E85!

 

[prostreetdsmx1]

the turbo itself will handle that much boost all day long. It sounds like your head is in a pretty good place already as far as the build path. Good luck.

Ya, I was also concerned with the .48, but I contacted PTE and they said that they would do .63.

This is going to be a daily driver that will see autoX and drag racing. 25-30 PSI on the street is good enough for me right now.

Thanks for the input

I don't see the GT30 on a 2.0 as that great of a AutoX car. On a 2.0, the spool would take too long for it to be useful.

It is just for fun, not trying to win anything. Hell, Antilag might not be such a bad idea.

Sorry guys, one more question before I let you go. . .

My 91 TSI has a 3 bolt rear end. Everyone tells me to get a 4 bolt because the 3 bolts break all the time, especially when launching off the 2 step. Should I go ahead and get a 4 bolt first, or just swap one in after I brak the 3 bolt.

Thanks

Are you sure about the turbine housing A/R choices? If this is true, it must be fairly new (& a good idea IMO). I know when I was looking for my last turbo, the .48 PTE housing was the only option they offered (& part of the reason I looked else where). I couldn't figure why they offered the 50 trim in the .63 but the larger 3076 only came in a .48 version from them.

If your looking for something thats quick spooling for autoX, I think the .48 may be the better choice but if your just looking for better all around, I personally would prefer the larger A/R.

As for the 3 bolt issue, I don't know alot about the 3 bolt vs 4 bolt 1g (being a 2g fwd) but I can say there's a local who runs ~11.4's, @ close to 130 mph & think around 1.6 60 ft's on a 3 bolt & has been doing it for years & it still hasn't given up on him yet.

+1 for a PTE3076 in a 0.48 A/R turbine housing in an autox car. You will probably lose power higher up in the RPM range especially with bigger cams. You can always dyno it and see where the peak power is (after which the power will drop) and shift at that point.

I just contacted Extreme PSI.com and they changed the drop down menu for the turbine housing on the PTE GT3076R. It now includes the .63 A/R

Everybody is telling me to go with an external gate when I am running 25-30 PSI.
A. Will there be any clearance issues with the turbo install.
B. Internal vs. External
C. If external, can I just get the wategate fitting on the 02 housing, or should I replace the manifold with the wastegate fitting on it. Any hood clearance problems?

Thanks again guys.

I agree on the external idea as it'll control boost better & at that level you really want it as stable as possible. I prefer the o2 housing mount to the EM mount, Punishment seems to have a fine housing just for this: Blank

This starts to add up cash and narrows the price gap between the PTE and the FP however.

There is member on here who had no issues with the internal gate at 25psi with the 0.48 turbine house. 30 psi set with an internal will probably end up being close to 25 psi by red line.

If you want solid boost control, go with an external gate.
