well doesn't that kind of make a huge difference to the rest of the non dual AVCS EJ owners.

No test's, just IMO.
i respectfully disagree, we have tested, sold and developed more turbo combinations than almost any other private company in this industry. In almost every application we have found that a turbo is a turbo, and for the most part there are some "sweet" combinations that simply work. Yes, there are exceptions to every rule but in the mid to large twinscroll stuff the behavior seems to be very similar for any modern 16valve high flow 4 cyl engine 1.8L - 2.6L and 6 cyl from 2.0 to 3.5L

So between the ball bearing gt35r and the BW which has better transient response, partial throttle boost threshold and most importantly the feel of the turbo as it transitions in and out of boost? What are the performance differences of using dual 44mm tial wg or dual mv-s 38mm wg. I have a built 2.5 motor 100mm bore, brian crower 272 cams, upgraded valve train.

these are all excellent questions. to answer your questions

1) better transient response will be found with the 1.06 a/r gt35R. it is a smaller turbo than the BW, so it wont make as much top end power but it will spool faster and will respond faster

2) The tial MVS wg is the only way to go for a subaru, we are very happy these are now available and wouldnt recommend the 44mm unless its a huge turbo drag race application. for time attack and street the MVS is 100% the one to use

So now the GT turbo is the one for response?

What were the specs of the turbos the owner was comparing?

Was the original test on a Subaru?

i am basing response purely on the polar moment of inertia. The 35R's turbine is 68mm, quite a bit lower polar moment than the BW 75mm turbine. "feel" is something that is different from every car to every engine and tune. we did extremely well in a full-weight street car at the modified time attack last weekend (2 days ago), using an almost stock 08 sti engine and BW 83-75... keeping up with 2 of the fastest and most develeopd track only subarus (gst and crawford) in a full interior, a/c, p/s, navi, dvd etc 08 sti streetcar is not an easy feat

Thanks for helping make a decision on the turbo Geoff. BTW with the mv-s 38mm what size springs would you use?

Is BW planning on making SS v band housings like garret? Id like to see your ej results, but I will not read this rag of a magizine. Their numbers are inflated and they straight out lye.

glad to know i helped

Im a huge fan of the 83-75, and after realizing we SHOULD have used the 1.00 a/r on yimisport's STI instead of the too-big-and-laggy 1.10 a/r im even more impressed.. the 1.00 really gives the 35R 1.06 a run for its money... FWIW i run the BWs on my personal cars, and I can get any turbo i want.

also, we can special order the 83-75 or 88-75 with a 90-degree-outlet compressor housing that makes charge piping soooo nice in a subie/supra/skyline/240. basically any application with a forward facing turbo and this compressor housing is definitely the way to go. i can post a few pics if you are interested?

garrett does not make SS vband housings, TiAL does. I do not recommend these housings for a few reasons

-they are singlescroll (go twinscroll or stay stock location IMHO)
-they are very thin, and its unlikely it would contain the turbine wheel shrapnel in the event of a burst at temperature
-the manifold will have to be custom and will force you to stay with a tial vband housing turbo in the future. you will be unable to change out to anything that isnt compatible with the tial turbine hsg

sorry to hear you dont like modified, i can understand why but the guys that work there now are REALLY great guys, they dont BS and dont lie. Some of the guys that no longer work there didnt help the image. here is a great article on twinscroll if you have the time to read

So geoff you would recommend using the BW 83-75 with the 1.00 a/r exaust housing with your new gen 2 rotated kit, i'll be using this with a built block and build heads and cams?

We recently put on a Garrett GT35R with an ATP 1.06 A/R twinscroll turbine housing on our Time Attack car and the results were remarkably similar to those we saw with the BW 83-75. The BW made a touch more power up top and was a touch slower spooling (it had the 1.10 A/R hotside). Again I need to emphasis that the differences were very small. On the street the GT35R feels a bit livelier and had a bit more progressive feel as boost ramps up.

Honestly though, had we used the 1.00 A/R hotside on the BW turbo I'm pretty sure that peak power would have been identical to the the GT35R and boost threshold and the transition to full boost would have been the same or a bit better. The way I see it, the BW 83-75 and the GT35R are nearly identical performers. Given that the BW is rebuildable and cost quite a bit less, it's a veritable bargain.

So if BW ever develops these their turbos with a bb cartride option it should perform even better? Is the extended tip technology similar to those HTA wheel conversions that are out right now?

Just on a tangent how does the bigger BW variant S300X 91-79 compare to the GT4088R..

What housing would you recommend and which turbo and why??

yes! the 83-75 1.00 A/R is by far one of my favorite turbos to use on our twinscroll turbokits (for any car: evo, supra, skyline, EJ25 etc). Also, depending on the charge pipes/FMIC setup you use, you may want to consider special ordering the turbo with a 90 degree compressor housing - it fits very nicely in the subie engine bay

great to hear you got to test out that twinscroll 35R as well, can you email me any plots or logs comparing the two?

yes, the wheel aero found on the FP HTA turbos is very similar to the BW units in that they both have extended tipped 7 blade compressor wheels with a conservative inducer:exducer ratio (trim). The extended tip has a huge effect on delivering stable airflow at elevated boost levels, so if you compare a BW or HTA to a garrett at over 28 psi, thats when the differences and benefits of the extended tip compressors really start to shine. at 15-20psi its not a big diff of extended tip vs std tip

whether a BB center section offers any real performance benefit is still up for debate... the cosworth guys i spoke with seemed to think BB is BS... the BW guys did have a prototype BB chra in development but my understanding is that the miniscule performance gains were not worth the increase in cost, more complex/expensive rebuild procedure, and it may never become a production turbo. who knows what the future holds, but BW is serious about turbos and if they deem the BB chra top be worthwhile, it could possibly reach production.

the 91-79 is a great comparison to the GT40R. we have found the BW is a larger turbo than the 40R yet it spools just as well and makes substantially more power and supports higher boost levels. dollar for dollar the BW definitely has the advantage here, not to mention its available with the 90 degree compressor housing if that fits your application.

the .91 a/r is great to start off with and good for up to 28-30 psi but beyond that i think the 1.00 a/r is the one to use. unfortunately the 1.00 a/r for the 79mm turbine wheel may not be available until the end of summer, we are keeping on top of them to get it out soon. all-in-all the 91-79 is a great unit for a responsive 700+whp application

Can we get some pictures of the 90 degree compressor on the 83/75 this is the only thing holding me back on getting one of these is fitment.

I spoke to another guy at FR and he recommended the 40R over the 91-79 as a better turbo?? Price not-withstanding..
