I also have the 034 Hybrid turbo too. I don’t have a use for either of them. The Vortex is on the car now, but it will be replaced in Nov.

I’m going with the IMS650. No reason not to use them when they’re in our backyard! I’m sure Cobb will have flex fuel soon enough, but not having to switch tunes is going to be nice with UM.

No they won’t. I asked them on two occasions and they told me that there is no flex fuel in the works for vw crowd. Sorrito.

Yep it’ll be starting Nov 1st.

Any chance the XL housing will be on sale by itself?

Sorry no. It’s being offered very close to cost as it is.

Damnit. I was waiting for it to go on sale.

Any hope for the boost pipe upgrade kit as a standalone being on sale?

In need of a TMD and may as well grab everything while I am at it.

I’ll buy it over winter. Hopefully it makes a worthwhile difference on our turbo.

In for some logs and a DYI video. I may follow suit.

What's the big difference between the XL housing and regular housing?

EQT Vortex XL

Building upon the success we had with the standard EQT Vortex, we now offer the Vortex XL model. The key difference in the Vortex XL is a larger turbine housing. While the standard EQT Vortex uses a turbine housing based on the IS20 turbo to achieve unrivaled spool, the Vortex XL uses a larger housing based on the IS38 to allow for more top end flow. The result is that the Vortex XL spools 300-400RPM slower, but offers an extra 20-40whp depending on fuel and setup. The XL can hit 30psi by 3400RPM and can hold up to 35psi all the way to redline!

For sure. Though it might be a bit as the racing season is pretty much soon over here.

Ah I see. Thank you! It's only $100 more to add the XL housing when I'm selecting everything. So, I'm assuming it's an additional $100 on top of the sale price to get the XL housing?
