I learned there are actually a couple different oil return fittings on the block from factory. Your car had the longer fitting and thats why your oil drain did not line up. Some cars come with a shorter fitting and it makes it way easier to install.
min 5:44 you used a gasket, but there were no gasket in my car not in the turbo kit installation from FCP, where did you get if from? I suspect that line is what is leaking after I changed my turbo.
Hey, i'm wondering, how did you managed to get the workshop manual for the golf R ? At 3:22 looks like you have a PDF or something. Do you have an official link to it by any chance ? Thanks !
How you liking the turbo so far? I was able to get one off a built s3 at a junkyard in Houston for $700 with 1300cc mpi and euro manifold. Owner didn’t know it was a g25-660 and sold it based off other s3 turbos. I originally had the 2260s with 925cc mpi and rs3 brushless tuned by UM. I’m currently on revision 2 so boost is turned down that powerband is taking getting use to with a gti.
@@NerdGenius thanks for the reply, I'm currently trying to decide between a 2260S and G25-660. I think for the type of car that the Golf is I might prefer the responsiveness of the smaller turbo coupled with the more forgiving horsepower and torque on a stock motor/gearbox. But I'm still not exactly certain which way to go 😔
With the G series the last 3 digits indicate the approximate max power capacity of the turbo on a typical modern performance DOHC engine (though it's unclear to me what fuel Garrett intends that to be on). Generally I would expect between 550-600 whp out of the 660.
That turbo looks like just like the typhoon eqt is selling right now.

Good to know. I felt like it was way too far off to be normal!

I have vortex xl kit. It came with 2 washer and I have no idea where they go
Thanks for the info. Why did you go this route over the garrett power max stage 2 which is a g25-660?

Do you miss the 2260s?
@@marcpec11 I miss the midrange power.

Seems like a fairly easy job, we'll at least you make it seem like so lol
Great video!
Do you have a video for the MPI installation?
Thank you sir.
Awesome vid sir ! As always appreciate it
I’ve got a vortex sitting in my closet I’ve been waiting to get on.. just need a fuel pump
Sound clips? Turbo sound different sound while daily driving?
where did you get that BILLET coolant fitting? im looking everywhere
Another great vid. Will this turbo function properly with the oil pressure drop that happens when below 3000 rpm? Just wondering.
Hey how’s the g25-660 performing? How much power are you pushing?
What are the updates on your car? Still running good? How is the turbo doing so far?
Is that the new beta turbo?
Hp?? 100 to 200 howa many sencond??
Too much "custom" to get this turbo in and functional.
Was it leaking by the vband clamp?
No... actually right where the oil drain pipe connected to the turbo.
What power can this make sure and at what PSI
