Firstly dont shun me for posting this without using the search bar i have searched bucket loads so far on turbos to suit my GQ and cant find the answers i need.
tied between the gt2860 and the gt2871r
both come in a .64 and .86 hot side
both fall in the same price range $1200-1500
i have a 30,000k TD42 with a new GQ 10mm pump and when i rebuilt it i used pistons to suit turbo aplication.
as well as being my daily driver i also tow an open air car trailer with my wingless sprintcar (maybe 1.8T) and the question i need answering is will i ring the neck of a disco potato doing alot of towing? would it be work going to the bigger rear housing on a 2860? or going the small housing on a 2871r? or going the big housing on a 2871r?
i understand from what iv read the 2871 can be painful and wont get the full benifit from my little pump. but im asuming it will still make power and i will probably look to upgrade the pump in future but for the time being it will stay.
iv also looked at the gtx2863 and matt from UFI does his td05-18g these are both great options but they fall in another price bracket and thats not where im really looking at this point in time.
any information from people who have used the 2860 in a towing aplication or have used both turbos your feedback is appreciated.
thanks Casey
