| yeah it is a take off and it is a brand name .have you never heard of holset? They are just as big as garret . you should see what the dsm and honda guys are doing with the ones smaller than this one.Holset built the vains into the compressor housing way before garret to help with compressor surge. It has a 4in inlet 3in outlet |

"vains into the compressor housing" ... wowza... you ever head of that company 'TurboSmart' ??? They must have named it after you... man i can really tell that you know your shit!!! I believe you are referring to what is commonly reffered to as a ported shroud ... was patented by Honeywell (Garrett). Also, having a ported shroud turbocharger on a gasoline engine is pointless, unless you are shooting for the moon with your horsepower numbers... and i mean in the thousands with a 2.8L engine. It will spool later than a non-ported model. It would be much better to simply spend the money for a properly sized turbocharger for your motor.... A properly sized unit will not run into surge, and will likely spool faster, perform better drivability wise, but will lack very little flow on top end. Another thing to take into account is the trim of the turbine wheel, and the A/R of that back housing.... diesel trucks are WAY different than gasoline burning cars, and I'll bank on the fact that the truck you pulled that unit from had double your displacement.... either way, it appears as thought you have already done all your research and'or listening to what some backyard mechanic told you... best of luck to you in your project.... i truely hope it works out for you.. those 24v's arent cheap to rebuild! |

| dude ... seriously ... go on a honda or dsm sight and see what they are doing with them . you till take back 75 percent of the stuff you just said . or just search for the tane tomritt on here .. he has a holset hx35 on his 1.8t and will testify to how early it spools . in about 3 weeks ill be able to tell you how well my hx35/40 spools .. which is actually a upgrade for a dodge cummins . |

| that turbo with a 12cm housing will have full boost by 4500 rpm..... i promise that |

| Full boost by 4500 is not a dog on these cars and honestly I think that's early. With the top end a multivalve head can pull with boost, I'd move the powerband higher even with a bigger hotside. I think a 16cm would be perfect, the 12cm will choke it a bit but have a vac/boost transition in the 3.2k-3.5rpm range just like a 60-1 with the .58 housing. I never liked how hard and how low those hit on the 12vs. |
