Anyone got a high flow turbo from GCG?

Oop's, my bad.

Posted without spotting that there was a second page and the backpressure issue had already been addressed.

I was thiniking along the lines that if the turbo is working against a stupid amont of backpressure then to generate boost it will first have to overcome that issue. Then to generate positive pressure over that then you are essecially haveing to spin the turbo a lot faster than normal to generate say 12psi. As the turbo has to work harder to make that pressure then the wastegate needs to be held shut for longer which the weaker spring is unable to do. And so the EBC is working it's arse off.

There'd also be spooling issues that have been ruled out also.

To me a stronger spring/ higher preload is just masking the underlying problem and will eventually lead to a much bigger problem. Unless the original springs aren't quite what they're being sold as?

Actually, what i've just written is pointing more towards a restriction between the intake manifold and the turbo, not backpressure at all. hmmmm.

From the turbo into a huge intercooler 2.5inch or close out of the intercooler into a Q45 (80mm) throttle body mated straight up to a greddy plenum. Hope there is no restriction. Keep the ideas coming.

....... boost controller however it is working like a one arm ass kicker to hold boost.

Very nice analogy Grepin.

That missing arm replaced the leg.

Any luck with heavier spring?

SK , I was also wondering about turbos for the RB30DET . Brett's stage 1 sounds real good but really interested in the results with the GT3040 .

I've been trying to find out what the Ford XR6T has , GT3540 with integral gate I think .

BOV isn't leaking?

i think i will be going hi flow on my 33 gtst. Seems too good for what im after at the moment. Im not after big power, i gotta run my motor in for aslong as i can so a smaller more driveable turbo would be nice but one that also has abit of punch when needed. Seriously considering.
