Is your turbo a KKK, Garett, or somethings else?
Do you know the specs on your turbo unit, like what the compressor trim is or turbine housing?
Were you furnished with a copy of the compressor map from the manufacturer.
Do you have any pics you can share?
I have just found this board and can not believe how much information is available. I have been missing out on a lot.
Just re-read the thread started when Todd announced that I had picked up my TCD Non-Intercooled kit and thought it reasonable to mention a couple of things;
I have an engine with increased compression over stock, I had the head milled 0.030”, so not much but certainly not lowered.
I am running at about 12 pounds of boost at the rev limiter without detonation. The right fuel and timing or ‘tuning’ is what it takes.
And the car rips and does it quietly. I will get it on a dyno as soon as I am completely happy, I think I can start adding timing back and leaning a bit as I have been cautious. As further testimonial I spent last Friday at a driving school, used up maybe 30% of my tires, lots of gasoline and some Hawk HT-10 pads and then made the 2-hour drive home comfortably and without incident.
I was passed by a full race prepped E36 M3 and that’s OK
