my buddy has a 366 on an 85mm ITR and its trapping 140@25psi@2650lbs. sounds pretty good to me.

Thats cute, I'm trapping 141-143 consistently on 26 psi and 2800 lbs (w/ me in it).. I'm still t3 platform too.. BW turbo's are completly bandwagon, Spiker doesnt seem to get what I'm saying.. Way Way overrated turbo's.

Spiker understands... and has done alot of reading, looking at dyno graphs.... and has talked with people whom have run both of the turbos hes interested in (The T4 BB 67MM, and the S366). Im not just reading a post on HT and buying something because someone told me its the best (You know me better than that). The BW definately has some strong points... as does the Garrett. Ive talked to proponents from both sides. The desicion is mine, nothing personal to anyone..... My car, my money, my choice.... YOUR mani and THAT turbo = BUTTSEX!!!!!!!!

I understand what the differences and caveats of each are... and want to run the BW... Its not JUST a impulsive decision - ive done a ---- ton of reading .

Nor is it to please everyone... and most notably not to be a "bandwagon sheep". Its a decision Im making. The first one I made made me over 600... More than I aimed for... The only thing about the BWs is you have to run alot of boost through them to get them into the top of the efficiency range.

Im making a descision for myself. It could be argued thjat the GT35r, the gt4094r and the 42r were all bandwagion too.... Who cares, Thew BW units are showing amazing results. I want to see how one works out on my setup. My bet is that its going to rock. If I dont like it, I can sell it for MORE than Im getting it for. ITs surely not as bandwagon as stying with the Garretts just because someone told me too....

Is it more bandwagon to follow all the sheep off the cliff, or to go check out a new herd for a minute You can always go back to thye same old ----... But with the new heard, you MAY just find something you were l;ooking for... AND THATS the spirit of innovation.


And JD: I thouyght you were serious too... I fail at sarchasm (at least deciphering it) as well. You are so cryptic at times......

Uhm, you talked to me on the phone for thirty minutes about it, how could you ---- up where I'm coming from Spiker? Quit fat fingering your ears clean and start using a Q-tip.

ok, so you want to make more power on pump but you wont be able to because you have to run so much ------- boost through those ------- airhogs. You will see and you wont like. Its one of the absolute shittiest turbo's for transient response times.. but you did your research in 1 day so you know what your looking for. I bet $$ you make less power with the same boost levels as before.. Found a brand new DBB T04R for less then your paying for that pile of weaksauce. 30psi for 600 here he comes~!

I havent bought ---- yet, so well see... It will probably be gone anyways... That T04r doesnt have a split t4 ex housing either... Its a .81 T4. Well I guess that would atleast keep me from having to build a twin scroll manifold, and save me money.... Probably spool JUST fine too..

Maybe youre right.
