to4b 60-1 turbo-a little disappointed

I just got this t04b bb turbo thinking it was going to be a monster turbo, but when I compared it to the stock turbo II turbo I was a little shocked. not much bigger that stock. only the cold side is slightly bigger

any of you guys have to4bs??

his turbo does look small, so those numbers sound right. The manifold I have is made by 1revvin7 and is ceramic coated inside and out. You can get it at turblown.net

Your 60-1 comes with a T04B compressor cover - 3" inlet.
Some of the 60-1's come with a TS04 compressor cover - 4" inlet.
Do you have a 60-1 "Hi-Fi"?

Your 60-1 also comes with an on-center turbine housing.
This might not fit, depending on the turbo exhaust manifold.
The on-center also is not as efficient as a tangential.

38 to 40mm will be fine I'm sure. Also listen to reted about the oncenter housing. If you are using a cast hks or ebay knock off it will not fit until you get a tangential housing.

I need to take a picture of this for people. I see so many people running that turbine housing, and they don't know that it will make a considerable negative impact on " turbo lag"

That turbo will make a LOT more than the stock turbo...

tangential housing fitment.



oncenter housing fitment.



as you can tell the tangential housing works great however the oncenter just doesn't fit (turbine side hits the frame rail). you can get a hammer and dent the thing or cut it but I just think thats ghetto. Also the oncenter housing is very restrictive compared to the tangential housing.

edit: also if you deside to stay with the 4bolt flanged oncenter housing please note that the 4bolt pattern is differant than the tange 4 bolt pattern so you have to specify to whoever you get the downpipe flange from that you need one for an oncenter housing.

Well.. i had something similar,(or maybe i am not understanding proper) but had to use a spacer (i'll get a pic to show ya). And remember the outlet hole from the compressor is bigger then the stocker. Remember 10PSI Thru a straw IS NOT EQUAL to 10PSI thru a papertowel roll. Both are 10PSI yes, but the volume of air being pushed is quite different, almost exponentially so keep that inmind.
