Default New turbos arrived.

Picked up a new GT37 NOS, and a secret borg turbo from a friend.

The borg is already making its way to BEP, and this will most likely be the turbo I run on my next setup. (the compressor wheel on the borg is 70.8/102)

The GT37 is a brand new IDI turbo, 60ish MM inducer, didnt take the cover off yet. Its roughly the same size as my HX35 that is working decent on my current car, should be fine for the new project too.. but nothing like the borg. Big issue is the round exhaust flange on the inlet size... Anyone adapt one of those before?

Ill snap some pics soon.

another L67.

I am pretty sure this borg is going to be stuck a T6 its whole life... It appears that BEP does not offer a T4 for this turbo if it is indeed a S400.

The shitty GT37 might have to end up being put on... along with its crazy round exhaust flange.

He got a deal on it from a friend....

Anyone know how to easily identify S300's from S400's.

I am thinking it is crummy'er than my HX35.... mostly because of the 9blade 58mm inducer....

That and the exhaust housing its going to be a pain to make a flange for.
