1st test of the DR650 billets

[DocWalt]

Damn, nice numbers Ray! These look like freaking great budget turbos, Matt, thanks for the continued support of the platform with all of these new advances

over 100 hp gains @ 3400 and 3800 rpms compared to non billet; how does this compare to 19ts?

19Ts are way laggier than these are... by far. my car passed 500tq at around 3600. ive never seen that on any 19T cars ive tuned

Ya from what I have seen 19T's are about 800 rpm + more to hit 500 ft/lb even on cars with Exhaust, and Intercooler up-grades that your billet DR650 car did not have.

Oh yea, I can see billet is the choice now, you've made everything else comparably priced obsolete. Now I just have to convince the wife, the kids don't need preschool; but I need turbos!

[DrkZide]

Could I run these through an NA block?

What effect does the billet have on life expectancy of the turbo?

2nd this question

[Ray Pampena]

The wheel material will have zero effect on turbo life. Its neutral balanced and even lighter so if anything, it would only help

Thank you sir!
