| I hope I'm not stealing your thunder Joel, I saw this on your website, and thought I'd whore it out on ttnet =). 


"Joel, I dynoed 768 rwhp with this turbo and a 3" downpipe and waste gate plumbed back into the exhaust (probably not really enough exhaust flow to really maximize the turbo's capability) at ~29 PSI. It made 682 RWHP at 24 PSI. Downpipe flange and exhaust flanges are standard SP/PTE -- standard TO4(?) 4-bolt exhaust flange that all the standard turbos use, and 3" V-band downpipe flange at the turbine outlet. I'll attach some pictures.
I'm selling it because I picked up a PTE 74 with the R-trim exhaust wheel (bought it from a friend who had other problems with his car and needed the money more than he needed the turbo), but frankly I can't really tell a difference between the two turbos. I think to tell a difference you'd probably have to be running about 32+ PSI. The compressor housing is a PTE HO housing, so this one is a 74 HO. The compressor cover is actually the one that came on the 74 R, but I spoke with Patrick at PTE and he said that it is exactly the same housing that they put on the SP74 when it came from PTE. So, in other words, it's an SP74-HO. I switched the housings out because the one I originally had on this turbo has an elbow welded on it so it'll fit my intercooler piping. As you can see from the photo, the compressor housing on the turbo is the original PTE housing without a welded-on elbow. I wish I didn't need the elbow on my car as I doubt that it does anything good for flow, but the setup I have requires an elbow. Steve Hayes ("Boost Junkie" on supraforums.com)"

 Took about 6 months for me to get all the crap out of my air vents from the first time I went off. Good times, right nixit? ;) - Guapo 11:19:49 10/10/03
