MK6 2.5L Turbo 07K finally on the dyno.

Thes MK6 2.5L 5cyl Turbo 07K is finally on the dyno. Once we got it up and running on ECU Master, we then had a battle with the turbo charger and ended up doing some upgrades before tuning it on the dyno.

Further proof that we need to 07k swap the world! Nice work 👌🏻

Long time coming for this one. PNP ECU and Harness coming soon.

[@casasdenick]

...the video keeps getting better the longer I watch. I'm about to start an 07k project. We'll definitely be in touch.

[@DoubleRichrd]

so is this engine essentially/very close to the audi DAZA that comes in the RS3. Just a more tame without stronger internals than a RS3? Thank love all the quality content you make!

[@casasdenick]

@@DoubleRichrd there are a ton of similarities but also a ton of differences. Some of the main differences in the DAZA are an aluminum block, updated head design, VVT on both cams, and direct injection (and higher compression to go with it). Their internals are slightly stronger than the 07k but either should be built if you’re chasing real power. The aftermarket pistons/rods for them are the same 🔥

It's great to see where the 07k's have came too. Years ago with my mk6 the aftermarket sucked, and options were so limited as well as knowledge..

[@COMotorsports]

Exactly what I'm doing to my R. Daza doesn't make sense when you could spend half as much building an 07K and have potentially more power capabilities. All the parts are here to build mine and it's for a street car and should do 600whp easily on E.

This is exactly why I suggested not being so dogmatic against some of the China turbos that have some quality control like VS Racing. Friggin Precision is expensive smoky junk way too often! And they never own up to it. I feel your pain! Garrett maybe is the good one if a guy has to spend all of the money, I've just never tried them. BTW, how do you like the experience of using the ECU Master? They are always somewhere in the discussion, but I haven't tried them.

[@COMotorsports]

I've ECU Master on quite a few cars, and have a bunch of others on deck to do. VR's 2.5s, and 1.8ts. As for turbos... Garrett are always my go to if they budget is there... we have them on so many cars and they just take abuse and keep going.

Speaking of long frustrating projects, i have a 3.0l Vr6 turbo build that i have been struggle bussing on for about 19 years. (no exaggeration!) The turbo recently went out on it, i would love to hear your thoughts on what i should replace it with. But i don't want to waste your time if you are not interested.

[@COMotorsports]

All comes down to power goals and what the vehicle is used for. Lots of great options out there.

[@mattlarson9897]

I thought i replied earlier but guess something happened to the comment. Any way, off the top of my head, the engine started as a AAA VR6, was bored out to 3.0L, has rods, pistons, big valve p&p head, TT cams, heavy duty valve springs, ATP exhaust manifold, 2.9 clone intake manifold, 630cc injectors, running ME7 ecu with Unitronic turbo software. It runs really low compression (8 to 1 if i remember correctly). I bought the turbo off of Ebay almost 19 years ago, before i knew about knock off turbos. It says Garrett and i believe it was a GT3582? I think it might have been a knock off since the impeller is contacting the housing after less that 2,000 miles of almost no boost. Now i am wondering if i should try a different size turbo and should i stay with oil only or go to a liquid cooled turbo. I was thinking it should make 500 to the wheels, without wasting too much of your time i would like to hear your thoughts on turbo size and what kind of power you think it could make. This is a show car/toy. @@COMotorsports

[@COMotorsports]

@@mattlarson9897 that turbo size is fine, just don't buy junk and it will last and make the power you want. The cheap eBay turbos typically last just about as long as yours did, sometimes much less honestly.

[@roodbolivierpierre5659]

Depends on quality of parts used, labor rates at shops in your area, and over all power goals, and what you're starting with in regards to mods. In short it's different for everyone.
