From HTA35R to Full Race Borg Warner Setup
Well here is what we have to test this week.
Tomorrow finish the 85-73
After that we go to the 91-79
Than HTA35r with a TS 1.06.
Anybody else want to test a turbo while we are at it lol.
It will be a good week.

Short answer to your question is: yes, the divided housings do work... The main idea of the divided housing is to aid in boost response at lower engine RPM's by taking advantage of the firing pulses of each cylinder. Basically the divided housing allows those cylinder pulses to expand into a smaller area all the way to the turbine wheel, keeping as much of the exhaust gas velocity as possible. We are not necessarily opposed to open flow housings; but you're right, our offerings are mostly composed of them. When you guys are able to take advantage of this; i.e. divided manifolds... you should see improvement over an equivalent open housing.

Of course, if they weren't worth it they probably wouldn't have an aftermarket lineup stocked with twin scroll housings....
The s400 can make silly power up top, if you can make 1200 hp is the restriction real enough to care?
Thanks for the reply kurt, I agree with everything you said just wanted to hear it from somebody that other vendors can't say are selling hype, but rather r&d and up!!!!

If you read the links I posted a while ago, you would have not needed to ask the question.

seriously, i wish you people could understand what their facility in asheville was like you would not ask that question. Theyve written books, on the subject and in fact the one kurt gave me was the best turbocharging book ever written IMHO (i have read a lot)
when you walk in you are greeted by 3D simulations of the compound VTG PSD turbo with real 3D models and then cutaways on stands, desks of the smartest turbofreak engineers you can ever come across as far as the eye can see, then the plant is made up of the craziest titanium compressor or titanium turbine wheels, its difficult to explain, but if you saw what they do just to blow a turbo up (kurt PLEASE POST THE VIDEO!!!) it will remove any and all doubt about the level which these guys do their work. it is full-on ***** wonkas turbo factory
