So maybe they don’t suck. IT was a great way to start the thread. Seems if you want to talk about tial turbos on some sites the guys that pissed there money away on them will get mad and want to fight you tooth and nail about how fast they are or how great they are. The defenders of the tial turbos consist of two catigorys.
The ones that wasted there money on tials
The ones that want to think the money there saving won’t be wasted on the Tial turbos. (comments are made more for jokes then anything)
ok… lets just see how great they are.
11.9 @ 116.8 - NOTORIOUS VR - Tial 605 B5 S4, 94 octane + WM, self tuned
12.1 @ 121.3 - p16.d4 - Tial 605 B5 S4, 92 octane+meth, stage III proper
12.3 @ 116.9 - fastallroad - Tial 605 C5 allroad, 94 octane, stage III proper
12.3 @ 113.2 - SMALPS (youtube) - Tial 605 B5 S4, 93 octane, modlist unknown (1.69 60’ but low MPH = stage 3 minus probably)
lets not forget
The ‘most powerful Tial S4 in the world’ REALLY flopped. Ran mid 12s
ok… not so great… end thread? No.
Lets talk some facts. From what Ive seen and Im sure some of my fellow facts first members can help. So far the only fast going on with the Tial cars is if your going over 80mph and your running over 35lbs of boost or more.
Also The Tial turbos are nothing new. They have been out for about 5years. Of that 5years the first 3 or so. All Tial turbos either blew up or made no boost. Then the following months from then. None of the Tial turbos would make less then 30lbs of boost. So these dam things have been nothing but a trash can of issues.
BUT NOW There a hot topic… why… MONEY… They are cheaply made. Not talking so much the materials so much as Im talking about the cost. The mark up on these things are enough to make the smaller need money shops want to jump on this and make a large profit. While there is still a large amount of money to be made on these things there still is room for them to be considered cheap by end consumers.
So. Do tials have anything good to offer. They do offer a replacement turbo option for the 2.7T. They can make power when your running 30+lbs of boost. The issue is that power isn’t represented as what would be useful on the street.
When you can’t muster a 11sec time slip in the 1/4 mile but you can “supposedly” make 500whp. Then you have a ko4 car that makes less then 440whp and there able to go into the 11’s with a mid 120mph. Something just isn’t adding up… or is it…
Yes it will add up. The tial turbos do real well at higher speeds. That is where you see anything test wise that supposedly is impressive and thats where every single Tial video that your going to see on the net is going to be. At speeds well over posted speed limits.
In short if the tial turbos only do run good at large boost and much taller MPH then most would consider useful. THATS FINE. Lets just admit thats whats going on. As that is what seems to be the issue. Its a 2.7T motor pushing the Tial turbos is going to take some work. Maybe the formula will be different with the more worked up 3.0 motors
Just seems like alot of fighting on something when the facts seem to point to less then exciting results.
