Hello there gentlemen (ladies too), 


I have the opportunity to purchase a BNR stage 3 turbo mounted on a stock S5 FC manifold.  
I'm not sure what the A/R is on the turbine housing, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to use it as-is.  
If it's too low of an A/R I'll have to install another housing in order to use it.




*Important question* 


If it's got a 35mm wastegate with an adjustable actuator, will I be able to dump 
enough exhaust energy to keep from overspeeding the turbo at cruise speeds using
an RD-1B?


I don't want to run too much boost and I won't need to.  I've got a mild streetport and will be 
mounting it on my RV7.  Anything over 180 hp will be fine with me.  


 It's a modified stock turbocharger (hybrid)  so really it's a t04b 60-1 (some people are calling it a t04e)
with an aggressively clipped h3 compressor.  Is this too much turbo in a too-tight housing? 


 I wish this stuff made more sense to me but it doesn't.


Thanks 
Bill Mason
RV7 13b EC2 RD1
