if he is limited on room to where he can't get to the WGA arm, it may be too tight to get to the bolts. maybe from underneath?

i use an OEM radiator, so i have plenty of room. just swapped WGAs the other day, in fact.

 

I wonder what the emap is at 26psi 7500 rpm.

 

probably a lot with that tiny stock turbine lol

 

In case you weren't aware, FP now has HTZ aero on the Green...it's now a 57# a minute turbo. Red was bumped up to 61#. Black is now 71#

 

threads like this make my life so hard..... 71hta....black....71hta.....black...... fml

 

FP's smallest stock frame turbo vs their largest. That should actually be an easy decision.

 

My exact thought

 

seriously? you cant even compare the two...worlds apart !!

i have a 73hta on my car. nice turbo..i am sure the 71 must so responsive.

 

I don't really want to derail this thread much but since I'm happy around 400-450whp, I'm wondering how much more midrange and transient response I would gain moving from the older JB Green, to the 71hta.

I'm currently at 400whp and 370wtq on the green @ 28psi tapering to 24psi on 93, but do have E85 available.

 

You may want to wait for the 71HTZ. You know it's coming

 

My theory is to pick the smallest turbo I can to reach my goal, IMO. A 71 on e85 would be suitable for you.
Not sure if it would be worth the swap, though. I've never used a green.

 

I hope it does. I'll pick that up for sure

 

Well I still have my original IX turbo with low miles, my intent would be to buy the chra and reuse the exhaust housing....if all is well, I could sell my green I guess

 

Do we know if the HTZ wheels only increase top end or spool as well?

 

I hope it happens fairly soon, I would love to try it out also.
