Re: kkk apps

no, graydon, it's the opposite...  The larger K26 is the stock turbo, the
smaller K24 based is the S4 app...  There are 5 variables on the kkk app
turbos:  turbo impellor hot/cold, impellor housing hot/cold, and bearing
housing...  The K26 uses larger:  bearing,  hot and cold side housings (the
"snail") than the k24 S4 based...  The smaller k24 based turbos (assuming the
S4=200 20v) spool up faster stock than the k26, but hp potential is higher on
the k26 becuz the flow on the k24 is for torque, not hp...  Now take that to
a heat issue, the k24 will generate more heat at a given exhaust output vs
rpm than the k26 based, becuz the turbo is spinning faster at a lower given
rpm....  Now the question I have on the S4 turbo, is that if your using a
smaller turbo, why would you want a smaller bearing housing and shaft...  I
would think it would be exactly opposite, but no....  My thinkin (its twooo,
I swear) is that the k26 can either equal or outperform the k24...  B4 I got
my RS2 I know I was outperfoming a stock S4 with my stock k26 turbo (but with
other mods), and my vericom put the output at close to 280hp....  The RS2 is
k26 based with different cold and hot (porsche specd) housings and
impellors....

Now I will post my warning:  If you have a k24 based turbo in the 200/S4 the
addition of an auxiliary oil cooler (in addition ie in series with your stock
one) is a MUST do if you are running any computer or other hp mods....   You
have a heat problem potential that is borderline dangerous, and by the time
you realize the problem the k24 may be beyond repair.........

Not just thinkin here folks.......
