Quote: There are good to both turbos.

garretts are super reliable and great for big power.

BW are cheap to rebuild and cheap in price overall and are capable of making great power.

I switched to an s200 instead of a 35r for my car, I will let you know how it goes when all is said and done.

Thanks i will wait for the results

The Borg Warner units are more efficent at extremely high boost vs. Garett. Over 40 psi the BW's will start to show there stuff. Mike Reichen's EVO 2 put down 938 awhp at 37 psi using the BW s374, and spooled as fast as the Garrett GT 4202r.

Borg Warners have extended tips on there compressor wheels which make them more efficent at high pressure ratios. If you plan on running less than 35 psi, Garrett may be the better choice due to the fact there ball bearing and have a better recovery time.

I guess its all about who runs them though. I think one of the USP guys ran 3 or 4 BW's from bullseye and they all came apart on him on the dyno. Its in this forum.....plus he swapped out to a GT4202 and made more power now then he did with the S400 unit. The post is in this forum. I will try to dig it out....

Here is the post....

Also he swapped to the GT4202 made 53psi and 1001awhp. So the high pressure ratio looks like can be matched by the Garrett. He posted that last week in another thread....

This is very interesting if you have the time it will be very good to have a little more info , like , what BW turbo did you run? do you have any dynosheets? etc... it would be very nice to have some more "REAL" data with this another options.
Cheers.
I ran the 62, the 66 and then swapped to the standard 70, then the custom billet 70. Also tried a Turbonetics 66, and Holset HX40. Never really cared about the dyno sheet. The units performed good, but didn't have the lowend. I wanted some torque to go with the top end. So I quickly kept swapping units till I found the one I wanted. I want overall performance, not peaky numbers.

Mike Reichen plans on running it at the Shootout this weekend, then dynoing it the following week. We'll see what it will do at 40+psi.

Don't push the GT35R aside either. Great unit as well. As for the BW's, check out the guys in my sig. They build alot of the BW's for the aftermarket companies.

You ran an HX-40 on an Evo? Whoa, dude! What turbine housing was on the HX-40?

HX40 using a 18cm housing. Spooled kind of slow, but made decent power. I order a 16cm housing for it, but sold the turbo off before the housing arrived to me. Probably would have spooled a little quicker, but nothing special.
