Hey guys I did a big install this weekend. Replaced my stoc turbo with a gen 2 gtx2867r from atp. Came with new hoses and connections, essentially “bolt on.” The turbo install took maybe 8-9 hours with typical lolligagging. I think it would have been easier on my back rather than doing a squat the whole time under a lift(I’m 6'6"). I’m not tuned yet, just waiting for the base map from Justin at freektune. Car should make 350/350 vs 275/360, so a lot more linear when it’s done. And power to redline. I’ve installed water meth injection too and will get a separate tune for it, making probably another 35-40 horsepower and tq. I’ll report back once I have some updates.

Awesome! How do you think traction is going to be afterwards?

Are you otherwise fully bolted?
Do you have to do the water meth injection for this thing to work properly?

Yeah, I’ve done the supporting mods including mounts and lsd. The stock fuel system is happy making 350/350. To stay good and safe and make more power the wmi is necessary. I’ll use it to clean and improve fueling when not tuned for it.

Well the bigger turbo will spool a tad slower(this is the gen 2 with ceramic bearings and lightweight comp wheel so it spoils fast regardless) so I’m hoping to increase traction. The power deliver will be less bell shaped and more linear.

Oh an I have an lsd installed and sticky summer tires so we’ll see?

That’ll be sweet - sounds like it should hook sooner, and then once you’re hooked it’ll just keep building. That’ll be a lot of fun!
