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
