VTT X Panda Motorworks Cast Fiesta ST Turbo upgrade

[felopr]

Looks promising, subed [MENTION=7953]VargasTurboTech[/MENTION] looks like you could fit a IWG75 in that turbo, would you be testing with a upgraded wastegate also to find the sweet spot spring?
Also, do you have any compressor map you can share to see if you can?
thanks

Subbed. Got rid of my project car so I can focus on this one, and now the big ticket is a new turbo. Can't wait to see results.

Really looking forward to this. Great price. I still have the pics saved in my phone from the previous thread.

Yes, we will be testing with the wastegate that we provide with the unit, which will be using an upgraded spring, we can also test with the IWG75 as well.

I also have a turbosmart w/g so I would be interested in using that. Hope all goes well with testing. Looks good and pricing does seem fair.

This looks promising. I'm glad I held off on one of the current options now.

I have been reading this forum for a few months scouting for experiences with different parts. I had to register after seeing this thread. Super excited! I've been researching a turbo upgrade for a month, but have yet to find the one. I want a good bump in power, reliability, quick spool and stock appearance. This seems to be exactly what I have been dreaming of!

My cars factory warranty does not expire until june, so the timing of this seems to be spot on 😀

I will be following this like a hawk

[MENTION=7953]VargasTurboTech[/MENTION] Is there somewhere I can follow the process in more detail?

"Plug, and play, no changes needed to ANY plumbing, water, oil, or downpipe."

Wow. Sounds awesome. Pardon my ignorance, but I assume it would need a tune?

This is the place! Right now we are in a holding pattern waiting for the production sample to arrive. Once we begin testing, all results etc will be posted here!

A tune would be needed, this is correct

Thankfully if I do this upgrade Panda is only an hour and a half away from me.

sub'd. I love the idea of getting to keep my stock turbo and all the plumbing can stay. So tempted to just say "to hell with the warranty" but....

 

[XR650R]

Looks like the best bang for the buck, for those of us looking for a nice boost. I'm looking forward to seeing how this develops.

 

[Stanley0910]

Man I was so sure the gt2560r would be the best, but this looks like a great option.

 

[Ceecab705]

I can't wait for this to be finished.

....upgrades to all factory internals removing many of the issues causing premature failures on hybrids....

I was about to pull the trigger on the MRX but this statement caught my eye. Like most of us I want stock spool, more top end and reliability. Reliability is most important to me because my car is generally used on track. Admittedly, I have little knowledge of turbo construction and technology. It seems the MRX Garrett GT2554R core is more reliable than existing Hybrids, but I don't know exactly why. Would you care to elaborate on the specific changes you made to ensure a more reliable hybrid than others? Will this turbo be appropriate (at the 300HP level) for heavy track use? Thanks for your patience with a turbo newb.

Plug, and play, no changes needed to ANY plumbing, water, oil, or downpipe. NO Core charges, keep you stock core, sell it, put the car back to stock, etc. 100% stock appearing from the outside, have no issues passing dealership inspections. Every VTT turbo comes with a 1 year unlimited milage warranty.

That's a hell of an approach. Keep up the good work and looking forward to future posts!
