Scoobiidoo Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Staying stock with APV3 Stage 1 on 5EAT, which turbo would you go with? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utc_pyro Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Nether. You cant run a larger turbo with an off the shelf stage 1 tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoobiidoo Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Sorry wasn't clear in my post, it will be running stage 1 tuned by Cobb tuner. Driving style is going to be mostly under 4000rpm with the 5EAT Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 then dont call it stage 1. You are doing stage 3(upgraded turbo), but with stock fueling and exhaust. Nothing wrong with that other than it seems like alot of work for what could otherwise be had with a DP and a stage 2 OTS map. if you are gonna do a custom tune by a tuner for the new turbo, do a vf52.

shralp Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 VF-52 for sure if your mostly living under 4K revs as you'll move your power band to the left a few hundred revs which is preferable for a daily driver IMHO. You'll maximize this mod if you can afford to add a fuel pump and injectors, it will give your tuner more headroom to play with. The 16G in my track car comes on later than the VF-52 in my daily driver for sure (and the 52 drops off earlier approaching redline.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infosecdad Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I love the VF-52 as I spend most of my time <6k RPM. I have the upgraded fuel pump, but stock injectors for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I love the VF-52 as I spend most of my time <6k RPM. I have the upgraded fuel pump, but stock injectors for now. Same set up my wagon is on currently. Was on the stock fuel pump until Nov 2017. VF52 has about 125,000 miles on it now. Most long term members know how happy I am with my wagon. I don't notice much of a drop in power near 7000rpm. The car has great mid-range power also. It's all in the tune. http://www.tuningalliance.com 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Scoobiidoo Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 Thank you all. Going with the VF52 and DW65C. Staying with stock injectors and mild boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Thank you all. Going with the VF52 and DW65C. Staying with stock injectors and mild boost. I would go with a AEM 340 pump over a DW65C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobiidoo Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 I would go with a AEM 340 pump over a DW65C. @GEE-OTTO Is it only because of higher flow rate or is there something else over the DW65C? I just want a simple swap job where I don't have to modify/fabricate anything. Longevity and simplicity are valued more than flow rate. I am not looking for big/max gains. I only said DW65C because I know someone local who is selling a brand new unit. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
