How much power does this thing make and where is it made? Those are the 2 questions you want to ask when looking for a turbo for your build. Let’s start with what this isn’t and that is a turbo that’s spools fast and behaves very OEM like. If you want that, go for a W1. This turbo delivers massive power from 4K+ RPM and up. Just look at that nice linear graph. The L15 likes power, especially when it’s dialed in gradually like you see. This test was conducted on our 18 Si running a full suite of supporting mods and Ethanol fuel. We recommend a upgraded short block with rod, piston, and head stud upgrades to reliably handle this amount of power.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003eIf you want a recap on where the W1 and W2 turbos land, check out this read for the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eW1\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eand this read for the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.27won.com\/blog\/w2-drop-in-turbo-upgrade-design-pt-5-power-blog\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eW2.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eAs you might suspect, the W2 falls in between the W1 and W3 in terms of spool characteristics and top end power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cimg alt=\"the best hardware sub headline banner\" src=\"https:\/\/store.27won.com\/_27Won\/27Won-1-Product-Listings\/27Won-Product-Listing-Graphics\/27Won-Website-Product-Listing-Subheadlines-The-Complete-Package.jpg\" class=\"product_body\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cimg alt=\"All the hardware you’ll ever need\" src=\"https:\/\/store.27won.com\/_27Won\/27Won-1-Product-Listings\/L15-6-573_W3_Turbo\/The%20complete%20dropin%20turbo%20package%20with%20hardware.jpg\" class=\"product_body_column\"\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand new studs, gaskets, nuts, and lines are included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewith every turbo so you won't have to run to the hardware store.
