- Thinking of upgrading the turbo on your MK8 GTI?
Here is how we did it on our customer car MK8 GTI WR project using a Garrett PowerMax GT2260s.
The process is overall very similar to the previous generation MK7 but there are a few distinct differences.
The Garrett PowerMax GT2260S is available for purchase on our new website: www.gerspeed.com/products/gar... - Auta a dopravní prostředky
It’s wild how similar this is to the MK7 GTI, which is now a 9 year old platform, from when it first started.
Pretty much already I'd say ok to work on just cleaning bits up making it easier
The mk7 is a 10 year old platform. It started in 2014 in Europe.
It is the same platform. MQB
Thank you guys for this upload! Helped me with the install of my pmax
Glad it helped!
it looks spectacular
Fantastic OEM+ turbo.
Also one more question, I just bought my gt2260s. Is that turbo blanked the Forge FMTUBL1? I would like the same one for mine, just not sure exactly which one you guys had in the video. Thanks!!
That is correct!
They are on our website and we stock them in volumes!
I also have the Garrett 2260s turbo on standby ready to be put into my car. I got to the part where everything was off beside the oil return line but my car is an Audi a3 8v Quattro so the AWD system made it impossible to loosen the oil return line. Do you have any ideas?
The problem is almost always not having the correct length extensions, wobbles or adjustable ratchets in the correct length with the necessary leverage.
can you tell me what tripple sqare sizes are needed
You ideally want to get a complete set if you own these cars - they will more than likely come in handy again.
M8, M10 and M12 are the most common ones.
Does that 5-40 LM come with the VW 508/509 spec? I have only found that spec in 0-20 here in the US.
We run the heavier oil for two reasons - firstly we are located in a very warm climate (Texas) where the benefits of a zero weight cold oil are not of as much of an importance.
Secondly we get the added benefits of thicker oil at op temps which is optimal for harsh operating condition and hard driving.
If you are in colder climate, go with 0W40.
People often tend to forget that the manufacturer picks the recommended engine oil based on the driving style of the average owner.
@@gerspeed if you have some spare time, take a look at Porsche's torture test on the 508/509 oil. I planned on running a different oil in summer until I saw how that spec of oil held up to some terrible conditions in turbo motors. On another subject, do you know of a tuner that has the capability to offer a clutchless start to help mitigate the thrust washer issues on these motors? I have Unitronic's stage 3 stuff being installed this week and know they don't publicly offer it, but I am hopeful to find an option eventually.
@@gerspeed I did the same too, I live in the heat (Middle east)
What power gains did you get from the 2260? Interesting that you made this upgrade considering how close to a is38 the pmax is and the mk8 gti turbo is slightly bigger than an is38
Quite significant increase in power and definitely less hassle than the MK8 R Continental turbo swap.
I dynoed stock - 243whp / 269wtq on 93.
PMAX- 403whp / 400wtq on 93
Both Dynos with intercooler, intake, catted DP, exhaust.
My friends right now with this upgrade and an IE stage 3 tune on his R he’s hitting around 490-500BHP
What tune are you going to use for this bigger turbo? What would be the hp like?
We already custom tuned it with United Motorsport, almost breaking the 8 second 60-130 on completely stock fueling 93 octane. From what we can see, no OTS tune comes even close to that, especially considering the DSG is still stock. We are definitely around the 400-450WHP mark.
@@gerspeedHow much boost is that? Those 2260s are sensitive to overspeed. A handful of people had failures.
been thinking about doing this. i dont want to void my warranty but do you think this is safe reliability wise???
I got one also, Just have not installed it yet. I Don't think this turbo is going to be pushing the upper limit of your motor. It isn't massive or anything and there were people running hybrid IS38 turbo's on the MK7 and 7.5 platform just fine. Every car will be different tho. For the most part I think it will be safe. Just don't go bouncing off the rev limiter in a parking lot for hours lol.
This can very well void your warranty. It’s the trade off for modifying the car and making more power. Garrett is an S-tier turbo manufacturer and the same brand as the factory turbo. What is more important is the tuner you decide to go with. We tune almost exclusively United Motorsport for those seeking maximum reliability, longevity and performance.
if I'm just going to run 93 would I need to do fueling mods?
Max effort you are right at the limits!
We recommend low pressure fuel pump and are about to release the highest fueling solution on the market that takes less than 5 minutes to install.
Stay tuned.
Is possible to install this turbo on Audi A4 B9? Longitudinal version...
Unfortunately this specific kit is made for the MK8 GTI only.
@@gerspeed but is possible to make any adaptations?
What's up with these Gt2260 turbos? It seems to make 400whp/400wtq with ease and used on smaller engines 1.5-2.0L. It doesn't follow the garrett numbering system i am familiar with, such as a gt25 is going to make less power than a gt28 but spool earlier and a gt28 will make less power than a gt30 but it will spool quicker and a gt30 will make less power than a gt35 but it will spool earlier. If I followed the normal naming and numbering system for Garrett i would think the gt22 is a "smaller" turbo than the gt25 with less power potential, but it is not as evidenced by all of these 400+whp cars with the turbo. Someone please explain it?
The size of the turbo has nothing to do with the flow of the turbo. The turbo flows more air as a pretty broad rpm range. The k03 was bigger than the is20 on the mk7 but the is20 flows more air. This turbo design was built to match the flow of the mqb head and internal exhaust manifold.
So the "size" of the turbo does fit the normal Garrett naming system for the "gt" turbo's and it's physically smaller than a g25 but flows more?@@NerdGenius
I believe this entire line is a new marketing name if you look at the specs it has a larger compressor housing than majority of the turbos you listed. This turbo is also newer designed also.
@@NerdGeniusThe ko3 is nowhere near the size of an is20 its significantly smaller. I'm pretty sure ko4 isnt even that big . The size difference between the mk6 and mk7 turbo size is in huge favor of the mk7.
Golf 8 R 320hp+abt tuning?
