    makes sense to me. i was going to guess that you'd adjust the pitch of the blades to compensate.

    This is getting me excited. Once my car is running again, I can't wait to be the test dummy for the TDO4 Billet wheels...don't forget about me Dan!

    Good work on the TD05 stuff. I would also be interested in the TD04 turbo upgrades this spring and I am local, well versed in tuning, and my car is healthy/getting setup for E85 and has strong 9b's on it now.

    Thanks! Sounds good man, you've always been really good with tuning 3S's. Having a local person test them would be nice too so we could actually be there and see them in action. I'll let you know when we get closer to starting them!

    pretty cool, but i'm kind of concern with the amount of back pressure these turbos will have with higher boost/power. it's amazing that one of them made 650whp on a evo, so in theory they should make 1000whp on a 3s with 2 right? but would the amount of back pressure chock up the engine specially on a 3.5L engine?i think Jrod was having the same problem with his car. i have 16gs on my car but the engine is stock.

    2.0L/turbo vs. 1.5-1.75L/turbo

    somehow, i don't think there's going to be a problem.

    can you PM me with a price for the billet compressor & upgraded turbine for a SET of 16g's? (compressor price separate from turbine price, if possible)

    i've got to decide whether or not to buy OEM mhi & send to you, or try for another type of upgrade.

    thanks!

    in theory yes, but somehow Jrod only made ~730whp on 5857 turbos with td05 hot side at 33 psi. SAF68 made 740awhp @ 22 psi with same turbo but with T3 hot side .SAF68 did have stroker, but i'm not sure how much difference that would make. if this turbo makes close to 1000whp or more i will definitely send my turbos to them.
