Opinions on this turbo?

[WeDgE]

Since the CT-26 died on me last week, I'm going to be upgrading. What are your opinions of this turbo on the 7m? By my calculations, it's a decent match.

Turbonetics TO4E - "50" trim
0.50 a/r compressor
"P" trim turbine - 0.50 a/r or 0.58 a/r (can't remember)
Ceramic coated


Will be using stock redline.
Head is fully ported.
1mm oversize valves w/ 5 angle grind.

Oh, agreed. But still much larger than the CT26... :evil2:

I would say with a .50a/r you're not going to hold boost past 5000-5500rpm.

Unless I go with something different and more $$$ of course.

ok first of i assume that you are going to put this on a stock manifold?

If so you best be preparred to drill that exhaust hausing to fit on the stock manifold!

Nope, have a tubular manifold on the way w/ the T4 flange (ssautochrome style).
