Started to swap this today ... Broke a header stud so while that's at the machine shop being extracted, here are a few pictures ...

My poor beat up compressor wheel ...

Old and New compressor sides ...

Old and New turbine sides ...

Excited to see what this does :D

**THE BIG KOALA** · 08-05-2011, 02:31 PM

Not this year...

I never found anything in my K&N that would do that kind of damage

New turbo is on ....

Almost a shame to put my inlet pipe back on it, but I did ;)

Took a little drive, nothing fell off yet ... take it easy for a few miles and then we will see ;)

No - but he used it as a leaf-sucker in the yard last fall...that's just what the turbine looked like on my junk weedeater leaf blower / vacuum after a few years...

LOL, not quite that bad, but it's had a few instances of FOD ... When I was running blow through mass air I had an air filter on the turbo inlet that came appart ... parts of the rubber between the clamp and the media went through there ... I have tested a lot with and without a filter, that also adds to the damage ... doent take anything of size to ding an inducer at 150,000 rpm shaft speed.

Suprisingy, those pictures came out very clear and make it look worse than it really is if you was just looking at it ... I've done much worse ;)

Don't make me drag you into the bushes ....

Car is going on the dyno this evening

**THE BIG KOALA** · 08-09-2011, 01:24 PM

Thats cool I hope you get good results when all tuned. Let me know how things turn out.

**Martin0660** · 08-09-2011, 10:57 PM

Very happy with the results ...

10 psi - 227 HP / 241 Torque ... This is on the gate spring.

21 psi - 321 HP / 328 Torque

25 psi - 370 HP / 383 Torque

At 25 psi it was a small power gain, but 25 ft/lbs over the other turbo ... I'm VERY happy with the changes before the peak numbers ...

Car on the dyno ...
