EQT Turbo Comparison. Vortex Standard, XL, and Typhoon

[@COMotorsports]

Making power hasn't been so easy.

[@adamg3911]

You guys have the best MK7R content! Wish you guys had a shop in the U.S.

[@JacesOwnWorld]

Honestly, for a FWD GTI, the EQT standard seems to be the perfect setup. Fast spooling but makes over 400whp on pump gas.

[@castromk7.571]

That’s why I went with it, best decision I’ve made

[@eqtuning]

Nice comparison guys! Only thing I'd add is that spool can be heavily impacted by varying conditions. Its tough to compare directly because of that.

[@josephlopez8474]

Are these cars eqt tuned as well?

[@4BillC]

Best way to compare turbos for sure! Awesome you were able to do it. Last video I asked about a 1.8t tuning issue going lean. The acceleration fuel table was the issue! The car is so much easier to drive now! Thank you guys!

[@COMotorsports]

Glad to hear it.

[@reyromero3668]

Just recently joined owning vw. Just bought a mk5 gti loving it. All of your videos have been very helpful. Got to do a rear main seal and button up another small leak with the oil feeds for the turbo.

[@s3georged]

Love to see it! 💙

[@zuluagaco]

Amazing technical videos ! Lots of good data 👌

[@COMotorsports]

Thanks, glad folks appreciate the info.

[@AngusMcDangus]

Another great video, Clayton and Dave! Really useful to see these B&A comparisons with various upgrades. Would love to see a deep dive into fueling upgrades for the 1.8T. Like what you need to support stage 2, 3 and beyond.

[@COMotorsports]

20v or Gen3?

[@AngusMcDangus]

@@COMotorsports Gen 3. 2015 Launch Edition that's currently bone stock.

[@burb17]

My daily driven S3 with forged bottom end and a vortex XL on E85 was a blast

[@COMotorsports]

No doubt 👍

Thanks

[@BankoMonk]

Need some more 2.5L turbo content!!

[@COMotorsports]

A whole bunch about to happen.

[@BankoMonk]

@ Can’t wait, need more info for when I turbo mine 👀

[@nitefly87]

Great video and comparison again😊 But a totally other question, whats up regarding your 5-cyl (daza?) swap into your daily mk6 GTI? 🙂🥰

[@COMotorsports]

Working on it right now. It's 07k not daza. No need daza for 600-700whp.

[@marlanefitz]

I love my Vortex XL, it scoots! But I think the standard is a good choice if I did it over again.

[@Pas_Quattro]

Thanks for this! Makes me wonder if I should just make the jump for a standard vortex in my 2017 A3 Quattro instead of an IS38+, which this channel originally turned me to. Pump gas 91 daily canyon carver, so not sure how bad lag would be

[@COMotorsports]

Oh yes standard is great upgrade over the IS380 on pump. Turbo's capable of making 70-100whp more on 91oct over stage 2 IS38 on 91oct from our experience.

[@bollinsracing74]

Would love to see a direct comparison of your Typhoon V TTV5.

[@brooksallenyoung]

I love this channel! Its great info for someone like me who is stuck on ditchwater 91 octane. I want a clubsport style build on my GTI with Golf R head, cams, and a thinner headgasket. Would i similar power numbers to a golf R?

[@COMotorsports]

really comes down to fuel and mods, but with the mods you're saying it would be very similar yes.

[@brooksallenyoung]

@COMotorsports do you think I'd have any issues running a water/meth kit? I'm like you guys only running 91. I think it would be better than ethanol since methanol is better suited for the cold.

[@elhdez9788]

Mk4 content incoming 👀👀

[@andygolfr]

What’s the Garrett equivalent to the typhoon? G30 770?

[@COMotorsports]

Although EQT has their specs backwards for their turbine wheel on their website for the Typhoon, it would be nearly identical to a G30-900.

[@douglascollus]

In Brazil, we usually use E60 ~ E63. In this condition, is it ideal, with the original engine, to use the Vortex Standard or Vortex XL turbo?

[@COMotorsports]

Depends how much you want to push it, as you see we've made over 500whp on E40 with XL.

[@Skirasa]

Great video as always. Where do you draw the line for a daily driver? What turbo is respectfully daily-able?

[@COMotorsports]

They're all dailyable, if octane is your limit then the standard packs a punch especially in an AWD car.

[@dwvw]

I daily drive a 650whp Golf R year round in Alberta Canada. So send it is what I say.

[@myrx2]

I daily mine with a G25-660 and external gate setup. Perfect street setup. Not overly laggy but has a heap of top end.

[@ls6stroker850]

i have a 16 mk7R and i do a lot of highway rolls, i`m wondering if i should just get the XL? here in maryland we have 93 pump

[@COMotorsports]

@@ls6stroker850 if you want a 100whp more then yes lol

[@leemosley9206]

Do you get the seat Leon cupra in Canada (same engine as mk7/7.5 golf)

[@COMotorsports]

Negative.

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

Those are awesome power figures for the 2.0! Something I've been interested in is if anyone has tried a compound setup on one of these. I know it's more common in the diesel tuning world, but if someone could figure out a way to package that into a Golf, that would be insane.

[@COMotorsports]

@@jameshaulenbeek5931 my question to you would be, what are you trying to accomplish?

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

@COMotorsports I'd be interested to see if the same low-mid performance could be had with equally high or better top end. I'm sure an engine swap would be easier - I5/VR6, but it's the curiosity more than anything, the concept.

[@COMotorsports]

@@jameshaulenbeek5931 With compound you can basically just make either more power, or a broader power band. These engines like boost so with that we can run smaller turbo's harder to make them spool quick and still make good power throughout the power band. Turbo tech has come a long way so compounds are becoming less and less needed, only unique situations require the effort.

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

@@COMotorsports ahhh, I gotcha. Thanks!

[@kevinrivas4535]

Hello I was wondering where would be the best place to tune my mk4 gti 1.8t I got a down pipe and full exhaust also full apr turbo

[@kevinrivas4535]

I live in NY btw

[@PongBread]

Not to kill the MK7 vibe, but your channel I think is only one that does MK6 content, but I haven’t come across any of your videos (maybe I’m wrong) on the upgrades needed for the fuel system. I watch the boss 500 video but I don’t think you touched on details the requirement for the fuel system (pumps, injectors etc)

[@COMotorsports]

Because the fueling options are trash in those cars and none of the options are great for real power. Which is why you don't see it. The one we're currently working on we've replaced most of the stupid fueling hurdles in it and put stand-alone on it. Most don't want to deal with the cost of that.

[@PongBread]

Ok. Understood. Thanks for your reply. I recently bought an MK6 GTI as introduction into the VAG/eruo market, but it seems the MK7 platform has more options when it comes to mods and power gains.

[@Mk5lyfstyle]

@@COMotorsportsstock fuel injectors, nasty lpfp, ie manifold, methanol injection will get you fairly far. But methanol scares people.

[@COMotorsports]

@@Mk5lyfstyle Doesn't scare me, do it a lot, But 600whp goals (which is the new 300whp)... is not an easy task for fueling on a Gen1/2 TSI engine. Methanol and stock injectors aren't getting you there.

[@gabeallen1212]

Dumb question but are these numbers with 5bar sensors or the stock 3bar?

[@COMotorsports]

Definitely not stock map sensors. The typhoon was run at 40psi.

[@gabeallen1212]

@ Do you remember how much boost you were pushing with the XL on pump gas?

[@COMotorsports]

@@gabeallen1212 Pump gas stuff is generally 31-32 psi with sensors.

[@gabeallen1212]

@@COMotorsports good to know , thanks!

Well maybe you'll learn to appreciate some of the other VW engines while you're here.

[@LBB988]

let's see dragy test 60-130 for all turbos on pump 93 then e85

[@COMotorsports]

Sounds realistic.
