i just bought an 87 turbo 2, and the guy claims that the turbo was bored out. the only reason i care is that if it is not possible, i want to get a new turbo, plumbing, wastegate, and all the trimmings to match all of the other mods i have made.

 

I replied in the Rotary Performance Sectoin. I hope that I could at least help you figure out what he could had meant

 

a turbo could be "bored" i guess. I know that my wastegate was enlarged....which could be considered being bored out. Also, ive seen a turbo "bored" to house something as large as a P-Trim. Ask your friend in what way it was done. Sounds like hes just an idiot who watches too much TV though

 

all he told me was that it was bored out larger and a larger turbine was installed. i was skeptical ofcourse, so i came here for more info. i wasn't sure if it was even possible. i know it sounded logical that it could be bored out, but i didn't know if it was ever actually done

 

yeah a turbo could get bored if you dont drive it enough


HAHAHAHAHA


I apologize for that..

This is the reason that Mazda installed the twin turbo in the FD's. The second turbo keeps the first turbo company so neither of them get bored. (sorry, I couldn't resist!) ---Jeremy

 

yes it can be. what "other mods" do you have that you need to "match" too??....

 

other performance mods. basically at this point, the turbo and the turbo plumbing along with the intercooler are the only factory parts on the engine. i just wanted to complete the project so that i would be able to move onto the cosmetics of my car
