I guess im late to this party... LOL

I would agree.. a single pump should go 600hp and 1000c i have made 700hp on gas..

Chad, this would mean the BBk-B is good for over 500hp on pump on a dynojet correct?? Your dyno reads ~10% lower somewhat like Buschurs Right??

 

For the sake of my numbers I sure hope so!!!

 

I like the fact that they are not rushing getting these turbos out. Finding something like bearing wear and working to cure it are a sure sign of a great turbo to come. Can't wait to see a few more dynos and if they figure out fueling issues.

 

I wounder if folks with the BBK should buy the FP oil line, as clearly the issue is present (FP identified it first and now Blouch is confirming it)...My guess is my BBK blew up due to insufficient oil supply (after talking to Blouch and FP - both of whom saw the turbo)....For anyone running a BBK, I would IMMEDIATELY buy the FP oil line and not worry about destroying your turbo.

 

have you heard of any other BBK Full turbos with the same issue yours had? yours did fail but do you know how and what the previous owner did with that turbo?

although it wouldnt hurt to add the upgraded lines but i think for the Full it is not necessary. think about it. Chad has said that around 200ish Full's sold and around 2-3 have failed. you think there is an oil problem for the Full?

the BBK-B showed this issue and they are supplying a oil line kit for it. i think it has to do something with the size of the wheels. so if you are getting a B then using oil line kit might be mandatory but not for the Full

 

Yes there have been many more than 2 - 3, I believe the REAL number is somewhere north of 10 (per my calls with Chad). I personally know of 3. Yes I know what the previous owner of my BBK did with the turbo. The BBK is great - no issue with the turbo. That said, I believe that Robert and Mitsubishi already addressed the limits of the journal bearings, loads, and oil requirements. Clearly a better oil line could not HURT.

 

not saying that it would hurt, not at all. the better oil supply the longer the turbo should last. but for some reason we have not heard of any other Fulls with oil issues well at least i havent heard of any.

but like i said it wouldnt hurt.
