No ETA. they are just getting the thing apart and getting the catalog work done to find out what we can get and where we can get it from.
I would expect ti to be a few weeks before I know what is possible and and a few more to implement them.

I've seen some kits offered for other BW based cars like Audi/VW cars with rebuilt turbos. Some of them are pretty impressive. This is the type of upgrade I'd be more interested in than a full replacement.

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.
Hope is good news, hope you can gives us some positive info on this project.

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)
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.
What is the projected cost of the upgrade, I already have the Race Tune.
