Having some trouble finding a BW turbo dealer..
Hello fellow nasioc'ers! I've been searching online trying to find a BW turbo, I've only found it on full-race.com and I've sent treadstone performance an email with no reply yet..
The one I did find is fairly priced but it's also journal bearing, do they all come journal bearing? It says water cooled and BB not applicable. Price I found was about $900, and I was expecting about 16-1800.. Not that I'm complaining, but everything I read about BW seems great including spool-up, which is why I'm asking if they managed this with a journal bearing turbo.. Any information is appreciated!!

And I'm sure the twinscroll is nice but I'm also not looking to spend $5k on that kit. I'll make it by for now with a single scroll |

Wow quite the price difference, from 900 to 2k. That turbo is good to 750hp and has a flow rate of 79lbs. That's overkill for my build. 68lbs/min flow rate will be just enough for me.
And from the reading I've done and videos I watched the 8375 hasn't seemed to really let anyone down.. I've seen 480whp at just 17psi on this turbo. |

You don't have to spend 5k on that kit. You can buy the EFR Turbo and have the twinscroll header and up pipes custom made for a hell of a lot cheaper than that. I was quoted like 1500-1800 to make the twinscroll header/up pipes, and the v band downpipe, intercooler piping, and some other odds and ends. |

If you go the twinscroll route might want to get in touch with fobiawrx, he can custom make you a kit, including headers, for less than $2k.
Have an 83-75 that should, fingers crossed, be up and running early this summer. |

I did talk to Fabia. It's a risk for me though because i converted it to right hand drive and now have my brake booster and clutch reservoir on the same side as the turbo, so I will need most likely a local shop to do it for me.
