I recently picked up a PTE 6870 t4 1.32 turbo. I used to have a PTE 6466 with T4 1.15 turbine. It was supper responsive and very fun to drive on the street while packing a nice punch at the track. It made well over 800hp and did 650trq on a 2.0 and there was a good amount of room to go. I never got to see the turbo's full potential. last year i planned to push the 6466 as far as it could go but ran into some other issues which then set me back a ways and then the season came to an end. My plan was to park the car and leave it alone as it was finally running good and completed. Plus i have my wedding coming up in a few months and do not need to be spending money on this car. Well the plans changed. The wedding is still on and I ended up changing a lot on the car yet again and one of the changes is a turbo swap. I was not sure what turbine housing to go with and lucky for me a buddy ordered the same turbo i did but with a 1.15 housing. So with the help of Aaron from English Racing and Brian at DTT this is what i ended up buying. So we took a bunch of pics to see the differences and here they are below. I am glad i got the 1.32 as I feel the volutes and shape is smoother on the 1.32 then it is on the 1.15. I also got the bigger comp cover which is a 4 inch inlet and 3 inch outlet. Anyways my plan is to put the car back together this week, finish the other 20 projects i have going with it and string this turbo out for everything it has. But I think my fuel system is going to be my weak point and hold me back. We will see though. Thanks a lot to Aaron from ER for all your help, info, and being a good long distance friend. Also thank you to Brian at DTT for taking good care of me and giving me a great price on the turbo's and other goodies. contact him for one of these bad boys. Now on to the pics.

 

how much larger is the 6870 over the 6466? does it fit well with your manifold? who has the best price on the 6870?

 

Dan- is your block filled?

My guess is to take full advantage of this turbo to fill the block.

 

1/2 filled yes.

 

I want to upgrade next year to bigger turbo but was concerned about my block. How is temp driving around. I drive my car most of the summer.

 

Last year we beat the crap out of the car on the street tuning it. The 1/2 block and the electric water pump ran flawlessly. We actually had issues trying to keep the car warm. 1/2 your block and you will be fine.
