I'm looking at what turbo to use in my project, I want something capable to 400 hp but with a quick spool, i was looking some holset but i find them very laggy,
then one of my frends got a mk8 gti clubsport that has the same engine as a golf r and saw a quite large turbo, the prices are arround 500-600€ for one in godd state, these turbos are capable of 400hp in stock form in a ea888 2.0tsi so I think that will be enough for my 2.5 to reach 400hp.
Any opinions? Has someone done something likr this?
 
External wastegate is not going to take you anywhere with variable nozzle turbo. Read up on that. Probably why no one is bothering to answer you.

I mean, you *could* block vanes in fully opel position and use external wastegate to control pressure, but apart from winning "unique mod of the show" and "least efficient turbocharging of the year" awards I don't see other plus sides to the idea.
