Another Stage 2 Option?

Hey guys,

While looking around online at turbo upgrade options (though I'm pretty much set on a BW EFR turbo, exact size tbd) I came across this TPC (Turbo Parts Canada) set-up:

https://www.turbopartscanada.ca/prod...5-turbocharger

The company seems to have excellent customer service feedback, but not too much in the way of documented results for this particular option. Anyone have experience with TPC, or thoughts on this option (very attractive price, especially for US customers given the exchange rate to Canadian dollars)?

Does anyone know if the Dinan turbo work with the stock tune for emissions reasons? Dinan says the turbo is California legal, which is why I want to get it. I plan on getting the Carbahn tune to go with it but probably have to flash back to stock when it gets tested, so I was wondering if the turbo works with stock tune when I need to flash it back to get it smog tested.

Worked for me in MD, but we just do an OBD readiness test here, which an aftermarket downpipe would impact more than a turbo. No sniffers here.

I think you’d be fine. The Dinan turbo is only a mild upgrade to the stock turbo.

Ok great thanks. I'll probably get it then just because it's one of the few (if not only) California legal turbos.

Aren't dinan turbos carb approved?


All this does go out the window through if you have a non dinan tune.

I plan on getting the Dinan turbo through Carbahn, which is founded by Steve Dinan and getting Carbahn's tune. I wanted to get Carbahn because both the tune and turbo are cheaper and the Carbahn turbo is virtually the same as Dinan's turbo. And I saw some posts saying that people found the Carbahn tune to be smoother and more drivable than Dinan.

The issue was maybe having to remove the Carbahn tune when doing smog testing.

In my continuing search for a turbo upgrade. I came across two more turbo's that I do not think have been mentioned on this thread. They are in late stages of development, and should be available "soon" according to the manufacture.

Shuenk N55+ (Comparable to a Stage 1 turbo)
Frankenturbo F55 (Stage 2/3)

Not much information is available on these yet, but they do have a facebook group for the R&D process:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/2448073655432005

The biggest thing is, the owner of the company is claiming the pricing on the N55+ will be "around $1500" whereas the F55 will be close to $2000. This is incredibly affordable if they can stand up performance-wise to the competition.

The PWG version is being tested now, and I've been told that the EWG version will quickly follow. I'll update this thread as I have more information.

We went a little off topic in the Stg 2+ E30 Results thread starting with Sean’s post at #177 and these turbos were mentioned. No concrete info, but some info there that may/may not be helpful.

Ya saw that after a search.

Also found some posts on another forum regarding the N54 version that was just a straight up bash fest. Even Vargus got involved (not surprising).

A lot of it seems unwarranted, TBH. Just people gate-keeping. Being that they are not yet released, I don't think it's fair to pass judgement on a small company trying to do some good for the N55 community.

Assuming you have the supporting mods and you have the fuelling to support it, E40/E50 is enough octane to max out ps2 and hit 550 whp/550 wtq at sea level.
