work turbochargers - not impressed at all

You are going to run into the same issue that the guys that are pushing the stage 1 cat charger, go a little over those boost levels you will run into intake heat. Not to mention the standard covers on the aftermarket turbos don't flow as well as the CAT covers.

 

Sounds like a good outfit..customer service wise..and knowledge.

 

Ohh gona be giving them a call soon..as like in tomorrow

 

Give me a call and I will pick you up at the 246 fuel station...more than welcome to stop in and check out our shop! We are remodeling...so just a heads up!

I will get right on both of these for you Allan...I do have to order the V-band flange, it comes out of Florida and will take 2-3 days before I have it all ready to ship. We may want to change over the compressor wheel design for you, the 11+0 blade layout generally is very "soft" on power down low, but it will make up for the flow and efficiency at higher boost levels. You may not see the "peak boost" number from this wheel due to the lower discharge temperatures, but the volume (density) of the air should be better and will net more HP. If we need to change it out in the future, I will help any way I can.

Thanks,
Reed

 

Glad you are passing through my neighborhood and able to stop in! We will get the housings swapped out and you ready to test...

Reed in all your time fooling with the 171702 have you ever tried one of the CAT turbo housings to see if it will fit that wheel and center section. I would think the cover off of a 177148 or 174260 would be very close to fitting.

 

The compressor covers off of 177148 and 174260 should drop right on to the 171702 core turbo, all three have the 75mm 171691 compressor wheel fitted from the factory.

HTH,
Reed
