anyone familiar with Lipp boss turbos?

[suprafanatic]

just curious if anyone on here is familiar with lipp boss turbos, or has one on there supra... i just ordered one and im looking forward to seeing how it performs. i got the stage 5 57 trim (525hp).. im going from a ct 60-1 so this should be a pretty big step up. also wondering what the internal waste gate is set at on these turbos if anyone knows. thanks

i have the boss 60-1 turbo, my wastegate was set at stock level, so not a huge power increase. the rest of my car is pretty much stock though. just waiting for my testpipe to arrive so i can put my 3 exhaust on.

well im planning on running 15-20psi tuned on my car. so should be a pretty good increase

I have that exact turbo ( stage 5 57 trim (525hp) ), and 20 psi is good for 400 horsepower (on my car -- just came back from the dyno).

I bought the very first commercially available BOSS 550, it's a stage V DBB 58 trim, it dynoed ~520 at the wheels (lots of other significant power mods).

I have one as well, you will like it, very reliable and good spool. Take the actuator rod and check for tension on the wastegate, I had to adjust mine about a full turn tighter to be correct.

Smagnotta what other kids of mods did you have when you made 400hp? and was that tuned or untuned?

You guys with the boss turbo, what is the bolt you're using for oil drain flange? I am missing my bolts. Normally on most turbo its m10x1.25. I thought they are using metric fasteners, but when I took the compressor housing off it's sae bolts ( 1/2 " bolts).

Are you using a Boss turbo? On the Ball Bearing turbo it is a larger bolt than on the thrust bearing turbo.
