the upgrade has a 50% larger compressor wheel,
heavy duty reverse rotation monster thrust bearings,
and the compressor housing was cut contour to accomodate the larger compressor wheel. With this turbo all the mod's recommended are: turboback exhaust, boost contoller, air intake

i dont trust turbochagers .com they have ripped off many of my friends. and if you dont like it they just bully you out of the way... not my type of buisness.. just my opinion. check out forced performance.. in fact he used to work for them and has many scary stoires but not saying that to get them in trouble. just forced performanc all the way.....

We receive between 1,000-1,500 emails weekly and I searched for that email in our archives but it was not there so i don't know what happened. I will gladly answer your questions now! we are expecting 400 to 450 HP w/ all necc. mods. As far as the compressor map for the upgrade I ordered them from the factory i will post it about a week so as soon as i have it you will too!!
The compressor wheel is a custom one designed by Turbochargers.com!! our first turbo went one of our dealers and he will be providing #'s soon.
We have a donor car here locally that we are doing exhaust turbo back, super afc, upper intercooler pipe,mass air pipe filter, mini battery relocation kit, boost controller, intake piping, and of course the upgraded turbo. we will soon provide before and after
DYNO numbers.
Just trying to be as helpful as possible w/the info i have.

not at all... once we see numbers, it'd be great, as well as psi levels etc....
