My_XR6_Turbo Member 282 Member For: 19y 8m 21d Posted 13/04/17 06:35 AM Author Share Posted 13/04/17 06:35 AM Nothing crazy. Just thought while the turbo is out if there was something simple/cheapish to do I would do it. Just running 98 with a 255l pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can put a billet 11 bladed GTX style wheel if you want, which will spool faster (supposedly) while making a little less noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My_XR6_Turbo Member 282 Member For: 19y 8m 21d Posted 13/04/17 07:17 PM Author Share Posted 13/04/17 07:17 PM Great. If nothing is to be done I'll just bolt it up. Thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My_XR6_Turbo Member 282 Member For: 19y 8m 21d Posted 14/04/17 12:12 AM Author Share Posted 14/04/17 12:12 AM Question. I saw this video. What makes the turbo sound like a jet? I'm not a fan of the dosing noise though. What power is the stock turbo good for if ported? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stock turbo can make just about 400rwkw ported on 98, with a fair whack of supporting mods. A bit more with E85, if you chose to go down that route, but it's out of it's efficiency range around that mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
