My hybrid turbo *PIX*
Got my turbo back from being rebuilt. Here's some specs and pix.
S5 turbo charger
P trim turbine wheel
V trim compressor wheel
T3 thrust bearing
dynamic seal
new jrl bearing
turb piston seal
T4 back plate
t3 thrust collar
Turbonetics Vtrim 2.75 compresssor housing
Here's the pix. Also pictured is a Boostlogic turbo blanket.
you might not be able to notice from the pix but the exhaust side wheel is enormous!

On the second pic there I thought that you welded the compressor housing to the center piece or something lol then I saw the third pic and saw it was the turbing housing in heat wrap

Anyways it was sent to this place called Autoturbo (I forget where it is) and it cost me $550 including shipping both ways. The polished compressor housing was $75 so I got a really sweet deal. Not too sure if it was that cheap because it was already converted to a hybrid or not but both wheels were changed and all that new stuff I listed above installed.
I'm pushing for around 350whp with 1000cc secondaries controlled by an SAFC2. All my other mods are listed in my vbgarage found in my sig. I was told the compressor wheel can push out about 400whp and the flow rate potential of the hotside wheel is around 600whp.
Incredible deal compared to that of BNR. Not knocking BNR or anything, I actually used to have one but sold it and never got to try it out.

I got it from a member on the forum. It was $130 IIRC. I put it on my friend KA-turbo and after a hard drive you can put your hand right on the shielding and it's warm just like freshly done laundry! It should lower engine bay temps a great deal (more than what I hoped the thermal wrap on the DP would).

Well the turbo blanket also helps to lower engine bay temps, therefore low air intake temps. It makes sense to me but sometimes I'm alone in my thinking.

you want to keep the heat in, it allows the flow to be smoother. there is a reason the stock turbos have heat shields and it isn't just to reduce engine bay temps but that is definitely a plus.
if it is coolant cooled also i wouldn't worry about the cool down time much unless you like boosting up until you park.

That turbo looks like a lot of fun.
Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with you if I can keep my bitch running
You know what would match that turbo perfectly?
My R-Magic radiator panel and polished alternator

I'm hoping for around 300-350 on a conservative tune at 12 psi.
I just got back from the bar actually.
Hondahater- I have a friend who's car I am helping out with. He bought the other pair of "890 marren injectors" which turned out to be 330ccs. you may want to PM him if you need to get additional info or something. his username is fcdropinthetop
What are you doing on the net this late?

I'd aim for 400whp if I had a standalone but the SAFC2 is limited in many ways. Hopefully the rtek for s5's will come out soon and I'll retune down the road. I'm aiming for a dyno day sometime mid next month.
I need to get some sleep. Need to wake up early tomorrow for an appointment to get my windows tinted.
