K24 observations... trade you for a K26?

[TM]

Peter,
Your observations are good, but I think your conclusions may not be
completely on-target, depending on your goals.

How much boost are you running?

I am making 280 hp out of my K24, which is about the max you can
get w/o huge heat buildup.

Until you're running 18psi or greater, I wouldn't worry about your
turbo being inadequate or anything.

K26 will make the boost threshold much higher and you'll have lots
of turbo lag. If you want to flow air, you should look at either
the RS2 turbo or a custom hybrid turbo (KKK or Garrett).

Taka

Having just ripped the guts out of my 200 (MC2 - K24) I noticed that not
only is the exhaust side of the K24 tiny - 1/75" i.d. - there is also a
large discrepancy in size to the downpipe - 2.25" i.d. - at the join.
