20G Fever!

Perhaps a larger turbine housing would help too. Unfortunately I don't have the time resources to do the R & D. I'll wait it out until I can find someone that has hands on experience with building a combination that works well for road course usage.

Here is the turbo I am thinking of trying out with my new stroker engine - notice the holes they drilled

I have a spare compressor cover, I should take a look at it and see how much meat there is for something like that.

Although I am no engineer - from what i have read certain compressors can actually pick up in certain areas of the compressor map with some holes drilled in the cover or a surge port

I could just as easily be saying that the XZY brand turbo is the best - it does not matter I dont sell either
I am simply a tuner - period
I want my customers to get the best parts possible and the 20G is something I think they will enjoy
If the turbo turns out to be weak and suck - then my credability is shot
I don't think I would suggest it unless it was performing really well in my tuning
Take my suggestions for what they are - simply a suggestion

Al thanks for the review and the great feedback to the responses!
Since we're all talkin' 20G, I thought I might bring this turbo up.

A 20G titanium aluminide wheel in a TME 6.5 sounds like a good choice to bring spool back to stock levels...
