Well. I can't see why a shaft would brake when a turbine blade comes off and gets jammed in the housing at 100k rpms....

 

I was wondering why they were so cheap without a core exchange. That’s what I needed to know I’m not putting a junk turbo on. I’ll look into the fp series turbos. I honestly just wanted little more than my 9 turbo can do. I’m shooting for 450-480 on a mustang dyno.

 

That's not exactly "a little more" than stock turbo numbers on an "accurate" mustang dyno. You're going to want an FP red for that, with the MHI housing. And you'll need to run E85.

 

Ok great. The fp Red seems to be the best option. I run strictly on E85 and already make 410wtq on stock turbo and no cams. I’m not sure why, maybe the tune is ultra aggressive but my tuner said I’m fine and mentioned these comp turbos for cheap and I’ll easily make 480whp and keep the TQ around the same as now.

 

a stock turbo can make that kinda torque at lower rpm, but it can't hold it up top where the horsepower is made.

 

If that's what happened, I could see that. Do you know something I don't? All I heard was a "pop". FP says they couldn't figure out what caused it. That didn't do much for my confidence level, so couldn't bring myself to buy another.

 

I recall pics of the turbine missing some (not all) blades and the shaft being broken. Tells me the blades came off first.. Your outlier catastrophic failure does not create a need for a larger turbine shaft. When things fail like that, often times everything breaks.

My red ate a bunch of piston and valve pieces when my motor blew up (25k miles on the turbo) and the turbine didnt fall off. It's now gone another 2500 miles or so with a max effort tune in the car since being rebuilt with a new turbine wheel and bearing housing.

 

Gotcha. I always assumed the blades came off while the wheel played ping pong in the housing
I wasn't trying to imply turbos need larger shafts so much as poking fun at my ability to break anything and everything.
Maybe one day I'll try another turbo. I think I'll go with one of those g-series turbo thing-a-jigs.

 

There is a company in australia building some badass stock frame options its called intense turbo,they offer an intense 5960 RS turbo claiming that it is the most powerful stock frame option on the market nowadays outspooling and yielding more power then a black.
there is a lot of dyno results on there page,the turbo definately spools quicker then a black but i didnt see it outpowering the black maybe same power,but you should check it out.

 

turbolab turbo are nice but they are two jackasses workingnout of their garahe so service is terrie

 

I know a lot of people are curious on how these turbos will do, as am I. Today I got tuned on the 5858 making 401hp on 91 and 503hp/418tq on e85 (mustang dyno 1000, low reading dyno).

This is my first turbo of this size so I’m no one to do comparisons or reviews on turbos but if anyone cares to follow up on how the car runs with the new turbo, follow on YouTube or IG @evo.madi

another note, my turbo was sponsored from Comp but I will give my honest review on it.
