Got my freshly rebuilt and upgraded stock turbo back from Majestic on Friday. Pulled the old one today, and I'm in the process of cleaning up a little and putting it back together. I was pretty impressed with the job Majestic did on the upgrade. The compressor inlet is hogged out and polished to a mirror finish. The 46 trim wheel is quite a bit bigger than the stock one. I am really looking forward to getting it back together, but that will probably have to wait until next weekend.



Here's a pic of the upgraded compressor wheel:

Here's the stock one for comparison:

looks great

get that mother on there.

my OLD turbo was bigger it had a garret housing on it

We used a Majestic turbo on my buddy's S5 T2...looked like urs, boosted like stock and wouldn't go much past 10psi on a good day...i hope urs turns out better.



It does look nice though!

i'm not a huge fan of the stock turbos. they are good for street driving because it spools so fast but a small t04e could do the trick nicely

Well, two things influenced my decision to go with a rebuild/upgrade on the stock unit. Time and money. I don't have a lot of either right now to spend on this car, which is a toy for my wife and I (she enjoys drag racing also). I didn't want to get into buying a new manifold, turbo, wastegate, and all the plumbing that would be required to get it right.



I didn't think I was getting full boost from the stock unit. It definitely needed a rebuild, so I figured why not upgrade it as well? The guys at Majestic talked like this setup could boost up to 15 psi, which would suit me fine. Hell, I'd settle for an honest 10 psi. We just need to get this car into the 13's this fall. If we find some extra loot, we might go for more next spring.

What other mods did the car have? Downpipe? Cats? Intake?

It was a streetported motor, dp, hiflo cat, apexi n1 dual, wideband 02, s-afc, etc etc...very well built car...the turbo was just wasnt performing, we put the stocker back on for now and it is doing good...majestic i believe is going to fix his turbo..they said they knew what was wrong and could fix it, but wouldnt tell us what it was...

my hiflow turbo was pretty badass.... i do miss it. that thing flowed up to 15psi.... pos stock wastegate!
