Default Blouch Twin Scroll BB Turbo testing

Just thought we would give you guys a quick teaser of one of our latest projects. We have been working on a billet, ball-bearing twin scroll turbo for subaru fitment. This turbo utilizes a Genuine, Garrett Ball Bearing CHRA with a 56.5mm turbine wheel matched with a Custom Blouch billet 47lb/min compressor wheel. Custom machine work allows this unit to fit in a IHI vf-37 Twin Scroll turbine housing. This turbo is currently being tested, more info to come........

Stock location, non rotated cool! Now change it up to 58-60lb compressor . Are you guys going to have a custom fab'd header/uppipe/downpipe for it since JDM twinscroll setups aren't abundant?

If you want ppl to spend the kind of money you guys are asking for this turbo, then at least make it big enough to be worth it.

You guys should have twinscrolled your Dom 4 XT-R turbo :P

I disagree, most guys who want this turbo would keep the TMIC setup to min lag for daily driving, a TS 20g is what ive been looking forward to.

Thing is I pm'd Blouch about the turbo. The TS-20g is a new casting and Journal Bearing. But this thread was to inform us of a new Ball-Bearing design. The BB turbo was a machined out VF37, BB CHRA and a 47 lbs/min compressor but they never spoke of it again??

There are a plethora of turbo options for those who only want moderate whp increase - HTA68, 18XTR, big16G, 18G, VFXX, bla bla bla.

Regardles of marketing hype, they are all small upgrades to the stock STi turbo, and for the money for a new turbo, why would you bother spending that much money upgrading for 30whp?

But a 60lbs/min twinscroll bolt-in turbo would be something worth upgrading to. Blouch said the Dom 4 XTR spools at around 5200rpm, but a twinscroll version would drop that figure way down. A turbo with the potential for 500whp and able to hit 20psi mid 4k's would make fore a beast of a car.

And the best thing would be that there is no other TS alternative that big, so Blouch would hold the market in that area.

But only in the last couple of months has there been larger stock location twinscroll turbos available.

I know this may be hard for you to understand but there are people that dont want 500+whp cars. Most people dont live their lives a 1/4 mile at a time

I want around 350-400 whp with fast spool and not too hard on stock internals as my car is a daily summer driver and Im looking around for the best turbo for MY needs, dont worry about how much money I spend, Its my car and ILL DECIDE whats the best way to spend money.

You know, one of our shop STI's has a JDM twin scroll setup on it running the VF37....that would make for some fun testing.

GTPumps TS Turbo IWSTI link: http://www.iwsti.com/forums/2-5-lite...ml#post2759747

You will also find that Moore Performance in that thread above announced their plans and testing starting this Friday for their TS Turbo.

Parts needed atleast for a TS Turbo Conversion are as follow:
TS Headers, TS Uppipe, and TS Flanged Downpipe.

Hmmm...I'm just getting around to upgrading to a Polka Pickle and now this comes out? That's what I get for being a late adopter.
