Not only does the new stage 2r turbo spool faster than anything else on the market... it is putting down power like a typical stage 3 turbo.

Our dyno numbers during testing showed the turbo was capable of an easy 600-650hp. We were also lucky enough to have some testers that put the turbo to the test at the track and back up those numbers.

Ian Gebbia with Ian's Truck shop put down some impressive track numbers and killing some new mustangs.
Pushing 650hp at the track 7.8 @ 89mph which translates to a 12.3 @ 110mph

This turbo is also a TOW MONSTER. There is no loss in towing abilities with this turbo like you get with some other types of bigger turbos. This turbo will tow better than any other stage 2 on the market. This turbo spools so fast and runs so cool that it has no problems towing max weight even with larger injectors.

 

I will bet you know this question would come up , can you retrofit fairly fresh KC stage 2's ? Will there be any exchange allowance for
good shape turbo's . I realize that you can't be rifling thru every junk core coming in but I'm only talking existing KC stage 2 customers .

 

That is a very good question. Sadly the answer is... we will only build building these turbo from BRAND NEW for the time being. No reman or retrofit options. It is a very long lengthy process to get the turbos made. Believe it or not but to get all the turbos ready that we are selling right now... we had to start building them in December. We started from Brand new Garrett cores, which have to get machined/modified by multiple people along the way, and then get sent back to us for final assembly.

We actually don't do any reman services right now... I hope to be able to hire a few more good guys and get them trained so we can start offering reman and retrofit options by the end of this year. There is less profit margin in a brand new turbo but we can crank them out faster.

We have been overwhelmed with people wanting to trade in their turbos (powermax, KC, etc)... but you would be better offing selling it on your own and putting the money towards a new turbo.

 

So would tune need to be adjusted coming from a kc 1.5 to the ball bearing stage 2?

 

That would be a better question for your tuner.

The stage 2r can be tuned just like any other stage 2 turbo... but I am not sure if all tuners tune the stage 1.5 and stage 2 the same.

 

I really need to get me one of these

 

Me to :smile2:

 

Hot damn!! Fire sale on used turbos!!! :nod:

Great work as always Charlie.

 

:nutkick: You got me good.

 

As if I wasnt drooling over these enough as it was

Great job Charlie! This is a bad *** step in the right direction to further improve the 6.0 platform!

 

Yea it's a bad *** turbo. I really need to try some php tunes on it, are you guys doing any sale for ficm tuning and pcm tuning for this weekend

 

I am in need for a new turbo, and purchasing something within the week. Was considering a powermax but I'm on stock fuel system. How does / would this 2R feel on stock injectors? Would I see any gains or would I possibly loose power? Thanks

 

Way better turbo then the powermax, it run good on stock stick. I've run a powermax, powermax with billet wheel and a normal KC stage 2. The 2r is the best out of all of them

 

How bad is the whistle? Any thoughts of using a 13 blade for no whistle?

 

Also, I'm on my stock intake, will this require an upgraded intake or can I still use my stock one for the time being?

 

Until 2 weeks back I ran the stock Ford intake and everything worked great, but even with a new filter I could get the minder right on the edge of yellow and red. Now I run the No Limit with the pro guard 7 and somehow gained 5 psi of boost. Run what you have and see if your filter minder light comes on or if you suck it in close to red. If you do consider changing it, if not run your stock till you need a 50 dollar replacement filter then get a new if you chose.

 

Yes it will definitely be worth it :nod: I absolutely love mine :scuffy.

I was curious what it would do a couple days ago since I haven't had the chance to just stand on it from a dead stop before. Even without boosting the launch, she rolled maybe 5 feet before the tires started smoking and left 50 of tire marks from both tires before let off....the best part about this turbo can be seen on the dyno charts on page 1. The increase in peak power is great sure, but the meat and potatoes of this upgrade is the increase in power the whole way up to peak, giving you more area under the curve. This makes more power in the revs that you usually drive in everyday, not just the WOT gangbusters at the track.

 

Can't wait to get one on the EX. Going to have a low mile normal stage 2 available soon.

I'd like to see a dyno graph between a stock turbo vs stage 2r stock injectors

 

I was thinking about getting mine dynoed before and after but they charge 150 for 3 pulls, and that's a waste of money IMO.. I'll give a butt dyno review after

 

I've got about 1500 mile on my 2r, no problems.

 

Well I just ordered 1 in super polished.

Feeling Like A Kid Again lease:lease::rofl::rofl:

 

This is next on my list. I've been drooling over this turbo. Most likely will replace all boots under the hood at the same time.

Can we expect this setup to transition into the other turbo lines? for example the Stage 3 setup?

 

We are working on it... but it might not work on the stage 3. If a turbo spools too fast then it will get turbo surge. The stage 3 is already pushing the limits even as it is now. Making it spool even faster will make it even more prone to surge. We could tweak the turbine wheel to slow it down and help it to spool slower... but that would defeat the purpose.

 

I plan to purchase the stage 2r. I have stock injectors and don't plan on upgrading the injectors. Ive been studded and deleted for 50 or 60,000 miles while running gearhead tunes with no problems. I do use my truck for towing. I assuming i would need to get my tunes tweaked from a stock turbo to the KC stage 2r. From my readings the turbo will drop in with no other modifications other than possible upgraded tunes. Also trying to open my mind up on possible other tuners out there but gearhead tunes have been on money for me.

Ive read something about the filter minder problems. Would this be an issue in a mostly stock setup?

if it pulls the filter minder if you could upgrade air intakes which would help lower EGT's while towing as well

 

Out with the old in with the new....
Got mine installed today @peixinho :thankyou2: Charlie :noteworthy::scuffy:scuffy

Well ,I know what's next for me.I can imagine towing is going to be and improvement.

 

I would love to get my hands on one

 

Ive got one of these pretty things on the way for mine, excited to see what she does

 

Going back to VGT, Mike?

 

Must have one I think. "The addiction is real!" >
