[s-cars] Turbo choices and the EFI header

[Tom Franklin]

 in a 1995 S6, looking at installing a GT 30R and the EFI header (rather
than the RS2 EM)plus injectors and chip.  Anybody used this combination who
has thoughts on the EFI brackets and mounting and plumbing issues that come
with using this header compared to the RS2 manifold?  Anybody have a dyno
sheet showing performance using this combination or something like it?

Paul: You have several options for turbo replacement (which I will get
wrong and somebody will correct me, no doubt):

1.  Rebuild you existing K24 turbo. - can be done but not very cost
effective given you still end up with a K24.
2.  Buy a used K24 turbo from somebody who has upgraded their turbo. -
probably fairly cost effective if all you want to go is MTM+1 or
equivalent
3.  RS2 turbo - a bit pricy.  Was THE ticket a few years ago but there
are better or bigger turbos for the same money or less.  You need to
upgrade the Exhaust manifold to RS2 EM or something from 034Motorsport
plus bigger injectors and new software, aka the "slippery slope". Good
for about 370 crank hp.
4. GT2871, GT3176 Garrett ball bearing turbos - these are the "new
kids" on the block.  Good bang for the buck, similar to the RS2 turbo
but more legs.  Still needs EM, injectors, and software upgrades.  More
grease on the slope.  Good for over 370 crank hp.
5. GT30R, GT35, GT35R - These are near the top or OVER the top.  Will
make over 400 crank hp with EM, injectors, software, etc.  Totally
greased slope.

How much money you got?

HTH

I am sure others will chime in.
