yep,not sure on whether to buy a new one as blouch can supply the td06 turbine wheel but owens want £400 to fit it!Are you getting the turbo sorted caney?
my turbo surged on the js mani and also surges on the jbs manifold.mine is down to not speccing the turbo properly so unless the jbs manifold is a poor design i think it is a good comparison.
have you tried turbo technics in northampton? They could replace my compressor and turbine wheels(on a td05h 16g6) for £650 including fitting,parts and vat!
If you were to buy another complete turbo you might aswell go for a fp green or owens.
I did originally have boost creep as I have said before on the 1st FP green housing so ported the arse out of it and it went away, but was clearly on the "edge" of what it could flow from a 28mm physical size hole, when I ported out to 32mm from a possible 33mm penny gate. muchos closos to max size I could eak out from it.
Bill, do you think it's worth porting my wategate hole in my TD05 housing before I fit it? The hole is 25mm in diamater with the 33mm gate cover. The inlet to the wastegate area is ported, but the hole itself isn't.
What are you on about mate??i'm talking to steve about getting his turbine wheel replaced and housing machined probably about £400.
Personally the price of this owens bolt on i'd rather have a proper Garrett GT,like a gt3076r or gt35.
I had to change direction , Costly i know, but just thrown to much into the backdraft kit and it was never going to be right for meits the old case of when do you draw the line and change direction and stop flogging a setup because you started down that particular road. know that road very well myself.
I guess it's ok for a bolt on but nearly £2k!!
you must of been reading my mind Bill lol,ordered a new one today which is a full garrett turbo but ihi flanged and much cheaper than the owens one!its the old case of when do you draw the line and change direction and stop flogging a setup because you started down that particular road. know that road very well myself.
steve's running a top mount now so has more scope for units to bolt on now. Owens is a good one.
If I were in his shoe's I would go Owens one. Its essentially a garrett wearing different IHI clothes.
Another update, Been a little hickup when my AGU large port head was fitted to my block, my BAM cams were not swaped overany news on this
