| Frequently Asked Questions:
1) How much horsepower can the Garrett T25
turbo Produce?
The Garrett T25 is a turbocharger that comes
stock on cars such as Nissan S13 200SX, Saab 9000, Volvo LPT, and
makes 210hp, and on modified cars has made upwards of 300hp. It is a
very capable turbo for a street car. The T25 does this with very well
mannered driving and quick spool up time (especially with a Ball
Bearing unit).
2) How much horsepower can the Garrett T20
turbo Produce?
The Garrett T20 Turbocharger will produce
about 15% horsepower less than the Garrett T25 given all the same
modifications. The T20 shares the same great driving characteristics
as the T25 with quick spool, and good power.
3) Is this turbo kit safe for my motor?
Yes. The kit comes from the factory set to
run safely on the application it was intended for. Many customers have
run their turbo kits for thousands and thousands of miles with great
gas mileage (sometimes gas mileage even increases when off boost!),
stock like drivability, and power when they need it!
4) Why is our turbo kit more expensive?
Our turbo kits are based on brand new parts
and come with one year warranty. The turbochargers have been sized to
suit the application and drivers need not experience the dreaded
'turbo lag' waiting for the large turbo to spool up. Many workshops
are using second hand WRX turbos and these are too big for
drivability. Custom made turbo exhaust manifolds have the tendency to
crack and leak. Our kits come with everything that you need for a
proper system. No more mistakes by the workshop that will cost you
money later on.
5) What does the ADM Turbo Kit ECU
do?
The customized ECU has a LCD Display showing Boost and Vacuum Pressure,
Fuel Settings under Boost and normal driving as well as a Turbo Timer.
This ECU controls the amount of additional fuel to the engine under
boost condition and does not interfere with the car's computer and stock
settings.
Large turbos such as
used on Subaru WRXs suffer from 'turbo-lag', meaning that your gains
in torque & power starts at a higher rpm. This means that you will only
experience the torque only when you rev-up the engine, usually from
3000rpm or higher. This will significantly impact on the low-end and
hence, fuel consumption. Using a properly sized turbo based on the
engine capacity, the turbo spools up faster allowing you to develop the
benefits in torque & power earlier, improving the acceleration without
having to rev-up the engine. The impact on the fuel consumption will not
be as significant as on setups with large turbos. Improved Drivability
will be the essence of the ADM Bolt-On Turbo Kit coupled with reasonable
fuel consumption.
Bolt-Kits allow us to
quickly remove it should the need arises during inspection without
having to resort to welding.
