Sign me up! I would definitely get this if it kept the stock turbo and put out more HP.

I missed the call, but should find out some info tomorrow on what it is (hopefully) trim wise and what wheel could be made to fit.
Lets all keep our fingers crossed that we can find a wheel with a common quill dia.
Along with a ported turbine housing if we can't get a larger turbine in there to help use some of the products rather than bypass them. This will reduce the turbine inlet pressure and in turn some thermal relief for the turbine wheel itself.

A little clip on the turbine wheel wouldnt hurt if nothing bigger fits, this is normally done on dsm's with great success. Normally people go with a 10 degree clip on a 16g sized turbo, but apperantly buschur went with a 25 degree clip on his 20g turbo.

We've found some wheels that might work well. Im trying to get some maps for them. Were hoping to get a wheel that flows 8-10 more lbs/min. Although we might not see the full benefit since the turbine side will begin to packup nasty.
If you have a wester's Racetune this will knock you up another 50whp+ and reduce the shaftspeed on the turbo to a mroe reliable level when singin' her up to 7000+


Wester's garage is going to be handling the tuning/electronic end of BTFRacing's kits.

Were going to bundle the two together into a really nice "Sneaky Pete" upgrade. (Named after the guy doing half the legwork on this project)

How about pairing their ECU programming with your other upgrade, the GT30R?

Oops, never mind... I just saw the red text in your Initial Buy post. Thanks!

Okay we're in buisiness! Weve got a larger induce wheel with the same backwall coming and should be machined up and ready to rock by next weekend. It should provide almost the exact same spool with another 50hp up top.

It'll be cool to see some testing on this. IE, how much will the turbine wheel limit us.

Very interesting...

From which turbo is this wheel from, got some induc/exduc measurements?

Same exducer size, but the inducer is 46.4mm up from the stocker's 43.25mm.
SO it widens the map, but reduces the max pressure ratio it can make.

Is this the RS6 wheel that was a subject of a post on another thread?.
