Who is runing this turbo? im looking at a car with one and just wanna make sure if its a good turbo? whats better a green or this turbo? what power can i push outta this?

 

its a great little turbo from cbrd. it spools just like a s tock turbo maybe a little quicker depending on set up. you will be a little under 400, maybe 375ish, with full supporting mods. i run their full verson which is the same turbo with an upgraded turbine as well, made 400 on their cbrd's dyno which reads low. both turbos have an upgraded/larger billet compressor.

I'm running one, made 390whp/366tq at 25psi on a dynojet, 95F weather. I had previously run 12.5 @ 112 at 23psi with more conservative tuning through a high flow cat, now catless. The car feels like it should be trapping 115-118 as it sits now. Supporting mods are HKS 280s, stock head/bottom end, ACT clutch/flywheel, full 3", 3.5" FMIC, 255/950s, straight 93. Spools insanely fast, I love the turbo.

 

the one i drove moved out pretty quick not as fast as my car but very impressive. just wanted to make sure it was a good turbo.

Now, which would u think is better the bbk or a green?

 

Just get the Full - no since in the light. Chad even mentioned he might stop offering it when I spoke to him on the phone but I could be wrong. I went with the Full and am currently on the hunt for bottlenecks in my setup.

 

gonna go with a red or green mostly likey i was just asking cause the car im looking at has the lite on it

 

It sucks....just get the Red

 

you dont know what your talking about^, maybe if you like making your car laggier then it already is and have a less usable powerband it would suck. Bottom end is way better imo.

 

^^^ have you driven in a red car before?

 

atleast you bring an educated well thought out response to the table LOL!

thanks for entertaining me!

if you are looking at the EBP 2005, I know which car you mean..

that is one of the first development BBK compressor wheels... before we had the full version turbo

I think the car made 368whp with it on our dyno before it was sold to the owner that currently has it....

the car stock made around 210whp when it first came to us!

very nice car!

if you are looking to keep stock like spool get the BBK full..Yes the red makes more power but it also lags compaired to the BBK, but then so does the orig. green.. If you don't want to run 30+ psi all the time to make good power go BBk

 

yes hopefully it dont sell lol but my friends green spools pretty fast he is on 28psi on pump. but hp factors witch is better in ur opion the bbk full or the red?

 

they are both great turbos.

quicker spool = BBK
more peak power at higher boost = RED

^what he said. Can't get a better simple exp. than that. You need to ask yourself the question of "what do I want from the car?"
