BTF,
What about the upgrade you were looking into our turbo?.
Will you be able to do the K16 with the mods you were thinking about.
I have that $1K put away waiting for you to make the announcement.

The middle one looks like it would be within the 15% rule O' thumb on turbine/compressor wheel OD's.

Looks to me like you'll have to machine the compressor housing to fit this wheel. Can you balance the assembly?

for sure it'll get some time in the HAAS. Yes all assemblies are balanced to spec.

Okay, we got a wheel comnig with the same Backwall dia, but a 3.125mm larger inducer. Flows about 6.5 more lbs/min. and won't increase MOI or cause slip.

I'm hoping to have it on the car like next weekend.

Oh yes!
It will have to be bored and reprofiled. Im gonna have em fittin' tight as they can be for max eff. Then the whole assembly is high speed balanced to factory spec. Put back into the box and shipped back to you within 2 days.

Thanks!

Dont have all the pricing details worked out yet, but I said in the beginning that I would do all I could to make it less than 1K and I meant it.

There are ZERO cores to be had so it will be your own turbo returning to you.

I dont know for sure, but it should'nt be a problem at all. The MAF will read the extra air input and calculate fuel according to the PE maps.

You'll have to contact BSR to be sure.
