...some TD04 teaser pics from MTC... ;)

[92RT-TT]

ya baby! kinguwa = really really really bad. MTC = bomb ass punani. Lol, sry Dan, just felt like throwing my 2 cents in . BTW my car is screaming now God i wish winter wasnt here These look sick! I might have to go billet TD05!

Haha thanks! Glad its screaming now! We got some more stickers made so I'll send ya a matching one for the other side Our Billet TD05's would absolutely scream being you already made 550 whp with our 19Ts. Just imagine the power

Kinugawa is Japanese

Oh ic, I thought I remembered looking into their company and they were based out of Taiwan with a distribution center in Japan. Either way, we aren't using them nor do we plan to

You guys need to chill out. I'm sure these are good turbos, but they aren't making them out of sticks and stones in the basement.

You guys act like there are dozens of companies making 9 blade TD04-HL mitsubishi turbine wheels.

yeah they are trying to look like a Japanese company..The company is based on Taiwan

ok, so where are MTC's turbo wheels made? I don't mean who they buy them from, where are they actually cast?

The 9 blade turbine seems superior to the 12 blade in every way. What's the catch? There has to be a sacrifice in spool-up, right? But that's partially offset by the improved moment of inertia of the rotating assembly. Why weren't they 9 blade from the factory?

[Chris@Rvengeperformance]

the way matt put it, less blades will help flow, but may hurt spool because there is less to "catch the air".

Don't know myself, but would love to see results. Should be similar to going to a larger a/r, because the exhaust has more space to go around the wheel, but I'm no expert.

I'd be keen for flowbench results too

That's what we found too. Which is why we didn't give them a second look once we saw that.

Shooting from the hip, undoubtedly over-simplifying... The average torque imposed on a 9 blade wheel by a given exhaust gas flow rate will be less because the maximum angle between the blade and the gas will be further from 90 degrees than with a 12 blade.

this. greater angle on the blades.
