Am looking to go big turbo in new year on my s3.
Aiming for 400-450bhp. Which turbo would you suggest?

Garrett gt30 or gt35 (500 bhp+)seems to be the way to go
 
info here>> https://turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/turbochargers

GT3071 example:
Inducer
Exducer Trim A/R Inducer Exducer Trim
836028-5001S 836000-0002 53mm 71mm 56 0.50 60mm 55mm 84

GT3076 example
Inducer Exducer Trim A/R Inducer Exducer Trim
836028-5003S 836000-0003 57mm 76mm 56 0.60 60mm 55mm 84

So same size turbine on both... Larger comp wheel, where the exducer diameter is the 71 or 76 "bit" of the name

Billet 3076 version I use is larger, billet comp wheel.. 59mm inducer, 78mm exducer (from memory)


I see now garrett are pushing their "gen2" models...
GTX3076 Gen2:
Compressor Turbine
Super Core Reference Data
Inducer Exducer Trim A/R Inducer Exducer Trim
GTX3076R Standard Rotation 58mm 76mm 58 0.60 60mm 55mm 84
 
What about borg warner or turbonetics, why is garret turbos advised? :)

Proven more than anything...

Borg Warner EFR's on paper look good but doesn't appear to be many 1.8t's running them vs Garrett...

You could argue a turbo is a turbo but they really aren't and some suit some engines better than others... if you can find decent info on either being run on a 1.8t then all good but its a bit thin on the ground and you can't really compare using a turbo brand on a Evo for example to a 2ltr stroker 1.8t...

The Gen2 models apparently have redesigned turbine wheels despite the same size and trim. They're claiming crazy things for their gtx35r for example. A rep at SEMA has claimed the power of a gt40

yea, thats some huge claim mind you.

when you look at the respective shaft speeds of the Gen2 & normal GT its not surprising why their peak flow figures are what they are..... 110,000rpm on GT and 145,000rpm on Gen2... working them a lot harder... Pro-rata I wonder how they compare in reality

Maybe even look at a JP turbo.
Im currently running a B480x on my S3 that easily achieves 300wkw.Pretty decent turbo in terms of quality I wont lie

the B550x basically Gt30 equivalent is what I would go for.
at the end its all personal preference.

If I was to do mine again, I'd probably be looking at EFR or Xona. Xona is basically FP. They had a sale on recently. EFR has been yielding good results for guys in the US. Worth asking in here:
Audi Performance Builds
There's some really nice builds in there.
