K04 vs. Frankenturbo

[dubbin_24-7]

looking to upgrade my turbo for my 20th with my tax money, its between the K04 and the Frankenturbo. ive been looking into both of the them and im starting to like the Frankenturbo F4 kit. it seems like the best buy for the money.

if anyone has had issues with this set up or recommend something else that will be awesome.

how much boost are you running?

this is the kit i m thinking about getting. along with new injectors.
(haven't figured out what size CC yet)

Just a KO4 doesn't seem worth the hassle. But the FT4 with injectors, manifold, DP and remap will put you around 260hp to the wheel for only a bit more money.

there is also a new company i cant remember the name of them but they came out with a tune just for the frankenturbo and it has some good numbers i think its called gonzotuning

25 pounds

[dubbin_24-7]

yeah i heard good things about Gonzo. i found his facebook page and was going to ask a few questions

[dubbin_24-7]

whats the difference between the F4 transversal 1.8t and the F4 longitudinal 1.8t?

Transversal - front of engine points to the passenger fender (like your engine)

Longitudinal - front of engine points to front of car

Same turbo, but for two different applications.

Unitronic just put a vidoe on facebook with there stage 2+ map of a dyno fun where at 1.8t puts down 264whp and 304 tourqe. And that was running a ko4 tubo

i think im gunna go with the F4 setup. i like what i have been reading about it. gunna start piecing everything together. the whole set up will be completed before show season.

Frankenturbo all the way. i love mine.

still running APR Stg 2 tune till my tax return money comes in, then going Uni Stg 2+ 440cc tune. Promising numbers and still safe EGT's and boost levels.

[dubbin_24-7]

^^yeah im not really sure what size injectors but i was planning on going unistage2 as well!

[Stoked_On_Spool]

The Uni tune wants you to run 440cc injectors with the stock 3bar fpr. Doug from Frankenturbo recommends the Green Giant 440cc injectors as that is what the tune was created with/for. Running a 380cc at 4bar has been done but doesnt net as high of results and made the EGT's higher iirc. So stick with the 440cc like Frankenturbo and Uni want
