who knows about the speed 6

[ssinstaller]

Thanks for posting that info ssinstaller. I stand corrected in that I misspoke about the ability of our turbo to hold 15.7 PSI to redline. However, the overall sentiment was correct in that it is operating near its peak efficiency, but with certain mods we CAN extract more power out of her.

BTW, what type of flange comes with this turbo? Is there anything bigger that will bolt on without modification?

I think it uses a round 3 bolt flange. I don't know of any other turbo manufacturers that use the same flange type.

I emailed ATP turbo about possible turbo uprgrades(they make bolt on turbo upgrades for VW's with KKK turbos). They replied back with a definate YES, they will be producing bolt on turbo replacement kits for our car. Hopefully they make something useing the GT30R of GT35R, either of those should let us hit about 400-500 WHP without issue.

I think I need a new pair of pants...Man that 2.3 DIT is getting sweeter everyday! (2thumbs) The problem is...Won't engine and fuel management issues prove to be a major hurdle...It's fairly easy to slap on a larger turbo but getting that engine to effectively control and produce that power will be an issue...Anyone know the stock power limitations of the 2.3 DIT internals?

The engine internals are probably not a problem, I would be much more concerned with the fuel system, there aren't any upgrades available yet, and due to the special injectors required for direct injection, it probably wont be available for a while. You would probably be better off adding fuel injectors to the intake tract and using some sort of controller to add fuel as power exedes the stock systems capabilities, HOWEVER the dyno's i've seen run GREATER than 10:1 AF ratio with the stock config, so I'm sure stock will hold atleast an additional 20% horsepower.
