    Looking for some insight on turbo upgrades for my s60 12.7 ddec 4. I read the bw 171702 who is a airwerks turbo as well, is a good upgrade. In doing a search I find a couple different versions. I'm wondering if someone can enlighten me on the proper turbo an a good place to get it? I'm in Canada. Also is it a straight bolt
    on? Thanks in advance

    02 is a straight bolt on turbo, but it is a wee bit large for a stock tune. The 171701 is a lower hp turbo but will spool quicker. What hp is the engine? I believe the 01 is recommended for 470 hp and lower, 02 for higher.


    Western turbo in Winnipeg should have stock, and they have decent prices too.

    Sorry stock is 430/470 right now but you can't tell the extra 40 hp your suppose to get with cruise on. I'm hoping the tune an a turbo won't hurt my mileage as it's fairly decent right now.

    I paid $650 on eBay for the 171702 new. I have a ecu tuned and dynoed 560hp and 1660tq to the ground. I've been keeping a average 7.3 or so mpg. If you do a lot of stop and go you will probably want the smaller turbo.
