Anyone come across specs information on the stock turbo?

Wheel sizes? inducer/exducer on turbine and compressor? Compressor diameter?

I am just looking to see what might be a good mild turbo upgrade to increase our powerband (will be looking into a real turbo upgrade when internals and such are available.

What I am looking at doing is create a mild turbo upgrade to raise the powerband and keep the turbo more efficient at higher boost pressures.

This would increase performance on the highway and in the higher rpm ranges, while increasing peak numbers a bit.

I was offered by a company to do wheel upgrades for the turbo also but 845 is already going this route and no real point to offer two sets of wheels for the stock turbo.

cat is out of the bag now. Just started some work on a Big turbo manifold. Should have a prototype manifold and downpipe by the end of August if I can choose a damn turbo

I'm having some trouble tracking the data down myself. There are a few good sites to collect data on known units, we'd just need to gather the info on the compressor cover (And turbine housing, if any) and compare it to what is available as aftermarket replacements (read China). If you can dig up that info, I'll see what I can find out for the group.

when my turbo gets stuffed he usually does before and after measurements .. so at the very least I'll have something eventually

Top mount manifold to looks good in the engine bay with a t25 flange for a borg Warner efr turbo...then I buy it...Thank you

starter turbo chosen.. still no luck in stock turbo data.. i believe it is a ko3 though and got some rough data on diff stock units

it will look nice i think, but all of our solutions will allow you to use stock parts / aftermarket parts that bolt up to stock parts as not having to buy something over again is our mission... yes that means that even our manifold/ turbo option will have a custom exhaust housing.

I am working on a top mount setup using a t28 turbo right now. The routing is going to be interesting for a top mount setup that is for sure

Since the AC lines are on the passenger side, it looks like the compressor side will have to go on the passenger side with a top mount setup.

I'll be working on this a bit more in the coming weeks. Haven't really ventured to far into it yet.

And you and Kyle gave me shit when I said any turbo upgrades will need new piping.

Anyone have pics of the stock unit? I really don't want to have to go take my car apart, but I may if there is nothing out there.

rausch I have 1 ... i can get a couple more... i already have a spare unit

this is what I have for meow

If you can get clean shots of the compressor cover and turbine housing/manifold, that would be huge. If possible, a fin count on the compressor wheel would go a long way too

i might be able to get some at some point i'll see if my fabricator has any more i think he sent it out already

No worries, we'll get to the bottom of this thing sooner or later.
