❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need a tune with this turbo?
A: Yes. A professional ECU remap is required to take advantage of the extra airflow and to keep EGTs, boost and fueling within safe limits.
Q: Is this turbo a direct bolt-on?
A: It is designed as a direct bolt-on to the factory-style manifold and dump pipe for early-model 1GD applications. Always check fitment against your existing unit.
Q: What power can I realistically expect?
A: With supporting mods (intercooler, exhaust, intake) and quality tuning, this turbo can support 240+ RWHP. Results vary based on fuel system, supporting mods, tune quality and dyno type.
Q: Will this work with a stock fuel system?
A: It can be run on the factory fuel system with a conservative tune, but pushing for higher power may require fuel system upgrades. Discuss goals with your tuner.
Q: What is the difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2?
A: Stage 2 features a larger 44mm compressor wheel and Inconel turbine for increased airflow and higher power capability compared to Stage 1 upgrades.
Q: Does this include an actuator?
A: Yes — a brand new actuator is included with the kit (though not pictured in some photos).
Q: How do I confirm fitment for my vehicle?
A: Add your VIN / rego + state in the order notes and we'll confirm compatibility before dispatch. This turbo suits early-model 1GD (2015-2019/2020).
Q: Will this fit later model 1GD engines?
A: This is designed for early-model 1GD-FTV (2015-2019/2020). Later models may have different turbo configurations. Contact us with your VIN to confirm.
Q: What supporting mods are essential vs recommended?
A: Essential: Professional ECU tune. Highly recommended: Upgraded intercooler, exhaust system, high-flow intake. Optional: Fuel system upgrades for maximum power.
