Regardless if you go Pwerks, Treadstone, or ZZP... manifolds changes are easy business when you already have the turbo off.



Learn to internet better, here is ZZPs additional info on the turbos
Dude, Thiers no need to be "that guy" on my thread, Relax, Not sure where you found the Info but when I clicked on the Turbos there was no Info, Shheeesh.

i'll willing to bet it's the flapper.. see if your waste gate rod can be jiggled around.. that was the issue I was having and I wasn't spooling till 4k i'd get like 5 psi by like 2500 then i'd get the other 5 psi right before 4k.. now I get 15 psi by like 3-3200 thats just because we have pe setup so the turbo doesnt spool quite as fast so I can keep traction

I kinda like when I hit full boost. I barely spin in 3rd unless its chilly or I brake boost. Feels like a smooth boost ramp. I make about 15psi by 3500 and the rest right at 4.

my tuner said the gtx is an awesome turbo and highly recommended it...
i still just want a simple bolt-on turbo though, so hahn 20g looks like the only one that does that...

All I'm saying is I love my s256et. Drive it daily and no complaints. Right now I'm only at 23lbs (haven't had the need to turn it up to 25 yet). Spools pretty quick too. Plus going to go up in power in a couple years so the s256et will easily handle 475-500whp without sweating. Yea there are a lot of options but it's all about what the goals are and what you want. I kinda like having a little lag for traction. I have traction on bald tires going from 2nd at 55-75ish (I have valve springs and retainers). All I can say is everyone have fun with what you buy and make sure you buy a turbo that will satisfy your end goal.

I been doing some research on the gtx line because I want to run the gtx35 series and flow rates in readin most people say the GT series flows better. The GTX35 series does flow better then the PE6262 from 3k-5k but above that the 6262 shines. Me personally I think I'm going with the gtx series because I keep my oil and water lines plus I don't want to wait that long to hav fun with my car. The GTX size itself I'm stil undecided on.

What about the Werks WR-2 Bolt On Turbo?

There was a post on here but it was shown as being moved...not sure why????

Just curious if anyone has run this turbo or what everyone's thoughts are.

Looking at their site, it seems to be a legit bolt on upgrade?
