    Turbo rebuild

    With the 360 you have the option of bolting it to the bearing housing rather than using the factory seal plate thrust spring. One thing I recommend is at least having the rotating assembly balanced. I lap all flat surfaces on the thrust components, compressor wheel, and...

    Turbo ?

    Any power difference will come from the wheel design, not from the way it was made. It should make little to no change in the spool time.

    BOV causes surging?

    At idle how much vacuum is your boost gauge showing? The Pink spring is the stiffest, I would suggest to change it to the unpainted spring if you have it. Here is a chart to use as a reference when choosing the spring: http://www.tialmedia.com/documents/w3_tial_bov50_sp.pdf

    Another Blow off vavle question

    Looks like a knock off to me. You want to stay away from those chinese knock off BOV's as they can cause harm to your turbocharger. My suggestion would be go to with a Tial Q or Tial 50mm.

    turbo measure

    Measure the inducer and exducer of the compressor wheel and also post a picture if possible of the whole unit itself.

    Another New Turbo Evolution We'll Never Get To Use Because Of The 3 Bolt

    The BEP uses a 4" Vband for the turbine outlet. The BEP S374 is equivalent to a BorgWarner S400SX turbo with a new compressor wheel. The BW EFR turbos are a completely different line as they are all ball bearing and have a lot more bells and whistles. I'll be getting my hands on the big boy EFR...

    New guy with 87 GN needs replacement Turbo?

    Those ebay turbochargers tend to be more of a headache and cost more in the long run than if you would of gotten a quality replacement.

    Another New Turbo Evolution We'll Never Get To Use Because Of The 3 Bolt

    We have 2 Supras between the wife and I, she is getting the BW and I am sticking with the BEP. All BEP turbochargers are BW based. I would of already had the EFR on my car and tested if it weren't for the delays in shipment. We should start seeing more of the EFRs out in the wild next month. :)...

    49 Turbo

    Not necessarily. Unless metal guts end up in the oil I'd say the turbo is fine.

    Another New Turbo Evolution We'll Never Get To Use Because Of The 3 Bolt

    I have the batmowheel on my car and have posted a few videos. While I am still on a bone stock engine aside from cams, the gains have been amazing over my old GT42-76. Similar built engine Supras are making 8XXrwhp @ 30psi and mine made 941rwhp with a stock engine. YouTube - The new...

    M.i.c Turbo Sucks

    That is 100% true. I know this thread is old and was bumped up but I will introduce myself, my name is Kirk and I am the son in law to the owner of MIC turbo. I run Boost Lab which is located in Tampa, TheBoostLab.com. MIC turbo is a 100% honest business. If you have ANY issues with their...
