This is what it looks like once you have it in the car. You'll love it.

 

COuld have sold you my kit and saved you a lot of time and money

 

^^ you're selling your kit?

 

Thanks for sharing sir.


This was not intended for a <insert alternate shop plug> commentary. This was showing the SL community a NICE turbocharger they have access to through Dezod.

 

This thing is HOT!

 

I have no shop. Just am selling the Tc and that is the exact turbo I have on it. It performs extremely well and makes big power. Thinking of putting it on the EVO X which is her replacement car. Oh did I mention this is the wife's car?

 

What kind of power did you make?

 

360 WHP on 93 octane at 10 PSI. It barely holds 10 PSI with a 44mm gate by the way. Don't plan on running less than that. Turbo is good for 600 WHP even without the HTA upgraded compressor wheel. You can get that from Forced Performance and they make two types as well. This turbo is not for the meek of heart

 

Nice power for sure.

 

Ok, I am confused here.. Maybe someone who understands the wastegate better then me can chime in..

Running a bigger turbo. means it takes more gases to spin the wheel..

For example a 16g spools faster then a 35r.. Meaning the wastegate has to open sooner and relive more exh then the 35r which need exh to keep spinning that fast..


So wouldint running a bigger turbo allow a say 38mm wastegate to work more efficently?

I run a 38mm on my car and have had 0 issues with holding boost any psi..


Maybe somethings wrong with your 44mm?

 

The larger the exhaust wheel, the more gasses it produces and the more the wastegate has to evacuate. As you go up in turbo size you need larger wastegate to keep boost levels low although it also depends on positioning of the wastegate and desired boost levels as well as flow on the intake side, engine volumetric efficiency and a myriad of other factors. Nothing wrong with the 44 but it's not positioned optimally due to space restrictions, still holds 10 PSI solid and the car runs well with no knock at those levels so not a big deal.

 

That thing is sick!!!

 

Yeah it is. I might try to sling one of these on a tC now that I think about it......................................

 

I used to run a 38mm on low boost 7-9 psi and it creeps like 2-3 psi more, right now 44 mm hold pretty fine on low boost on my gt30. I guess it comes down to setup and turbo size and manifold design. local guy here ran 20 psi plus on 38mm and holds pretty fine

 

Okay, now i'm def confused......

 

lolz^^

 

No worries! All will make sense soon.

 

Alfa kit !?!! WOOT

 

HOlding 20 PSI is not the problem. Wastegate is to control boost to lower levels. As long as spring is strong enough you should be able to hold high boost with a 38 even on a GT42R without a problem. Why? Because it has to evacuate very little exhaust out of it for high boost. I think people think that you need larger wastegate to hodl higher boost levels which is incorrect. You simply need a stronger spring to make sure it doesn't creep open and LOWER you boost levels. At lower boost levels you do need larger wastegate on some turbos to prevent boost creep.

 

^^ I know thats exactly my point, and what i meant by holding is keeping the boost consistent.. getting the desired boost but no creep. Depends on setup on the rest of the setup, there might be a need to upgrade to 44mm.. As boost pressure goes up too, there will be more exhaust gases and sometimes even if you are running high boost they need a bigger wg coz their 38mm couldnt keep up and they start creeping. So some do fine on 38mm some needs bigger setup depends on their players, turbo size, wastegate size, dump design, manifold, target boost so on
