Local reviews - MK7 GTI IS38 upgrade

[AshTDi]

After coming across many overseas reviews online on the is38 upgrade. I think it would be a great idea to share our own, seeing as our fuel quality isn't so good here etc. What do you love/hate about it, pros and cons. This topic may even sway decisions into or out of doing the upgrade. The floor is yours

As far as i have seen IS38 is the best thing since K04. Pump fuel the Revo Stage 3 guys are way over 300whp. I can't see any negatives except for the replacement of front tyres more regularly

Ruan's IS38 on Revo 3 is a beast, There is no question it is well worth it

Is38 is the new k04, epic conversion. Only downfall is it requires a flash, no pnp supports it at the moment. I know with the g6 it was the same but the whole td1 thing makes me nervous.

Holds off a c63s AMG rolling too!

Another option is to go hybrid IS20 like I have

[AshTDi]

Curious to know what power you're making with the hybrid IS20 bud

comparing the is38 to the ko4, is it bigger? What boost can it handle?

[Smok3X]

Very impressive! What kind of airflow do they get in grams/sec?

Do they suffer from similar turbo failures that the stock G7 GTi turbo does?

REVO's Stage 3 Mk7 GTI ran a 12.1 yesterday at DW2016.

IS38 (G7R & S3) and IS20 (G7) both suffer from turbo failures, more so the earlier revisions

My review after 2 weeks...car is a beast! An upgrade thats worthwhile!

Would the is38 fit on a G6?

[AshTDi]

Lol! Don't think so

What sort of power are you making bud? Supporting mods? Do you have a flash or pnp?

I have: 76mm turbo back exhaust and VW R600 intake. Flashed. Making about 260wkw and 489wnm

Damn, that is sick power. So no fueling or cooling mods? Meth?

Sorry for all the questions, currently have dp and intake and really considering doing the IS38 next instead of going full bolt ons.

95 pump file. Nothing else. Intercooler will go on soon

That is epic. With cooling mods and meth/octane you will see even better figures.
