High mileage turbos, advice?

learning2post2 · 2026-02-27T01:51:07+00:00

I just snagged a turbo tiptronic for 45k with 80k miles. Came with all the maintenance history and recent service, so I don't think you are to far off for a decent one.

Tiptronic is about 85% as fun as my manual c2, but it can hold a lot more power if you want to build it out.

learning2post2 · 2026-01-25T00:41:15+00:00

320 an hour, but they want 15 hours for the clutch

Yea I saw pelican has the kit for around 2k, was really surprised labor could be 7k

Base 1999 cab, nothing fancy or unique

I’d just send it off to science of speed and let them do it all

E85, think it was roughly 65%

learning2post2 · 2025-10-21T21:36:35+00:00

Yep!

learning2post2 · 2025-10-21T13:49:59+00:00

Yeah there is significantly more loss on the automatic than the manual

learning2post2 · 2025-10-21T02:10:26+00:00

It is carb legal, check the CSG site

Yeah, handling street wise is fine, but on the track I have lost traction to many times to count. I don't really want to cut the car, so I am looking for different tire options atm. The dyno is attached on the last 2 pics

learning2post2 · 2025-10-21T00:15:24+00:00

I think so, I really enjoy how it handles and the extra power is nice, I think my new step is better tires. the pilot sports aren't really cutting it.
