Trying to get the Borg back. My Borg actually out spools this turbo. Go figure.

 

What sort of engine mods do you run with the BW?. Cant go wrong with the BW and its price plus their rebuild-able, if im not mistaken. I use to have a Gt42r but a so called professional garage decided they would put EGT sensors which protrude by 2'' into the runners, obviously it broke off and F...d the whole turbo up. I haven't got My BW up and running yet but it good to here it can spool.

 

Lookin good! Im curious how that would compare to the new BW billett wheel turbo.

 

Worse mistake ever. The whole ordeal was nerve wrecking and I still got the shaft in the end. I plan to do a very extensive write up on the forum soon to maybe warn others of the situation I went through.

 

Sorry to here about this! hope you get things sorted, they stand to loose a lot more then what they got from you in reputation alone if they don't get things sorted. keep us updated.

 

I will. I have videos and lots of info associated with everything. I dont have the time and energy to go back and forth with these guys and really gave up on trying to get what i want..

I will keep eveyone updated..

 

Sorry to hear your car is still down man

 

Ain't down. Lol. I'm actually running it. Turbo is still fukd by my standards, but comp says its fine. The turbo is literally stuck after a drive and I check it in the morning. The shaft is dancing and like I said it seems stuck, also doesn't spin on start up until after a few minutes.

I'm really thinking about buying a S400-sx 67mm Borg to see how that does. My s475 flows 98lbs per minute and the S400-sx 67mm flows 94lbs per minute. So another update will come soon. lol.

Can of worms have been opened.

 

Well only the second video plays"fine, the other 2 says "This video is private."

 

Trying to change the settings now.

 

I can see all three now.

 

I'm unfamiliar with the triplex bearing preload arrangement that Comp Turbo uses (so this is compete speculation), but it appears that your "sticky" rotating group is caused by the bearings being loaded slightly. It's not easy to set the preload perfectly, but too loose and you'll have fore-aft slop (bad), and too tight will bind-up the shaft. It's possible that your preload is slightly high, but it may still be acceptable (in-tolerance), especially if it spins freely when up to operating temp. It may even loosen-up in time once it's run-in. Wouldn't expect this to affect the power the turbo makes or the overall lifespan, so as long as there's oil getting to the bearing, you may be fine.

Do you have another theory? Are you sleeping OK?

 

If Comp says its fine, run it, blow it up, send it back, no?

That doesnt look right at all, have comp seen the videos? I think they should give you your money back!

 

Oh trust me they have seen it. This is the 3rd unit they have sent me. Justin at comp turbo has been very helpful and always answered my calls. I've just never seen a turbo do such foolery. Lol. I might put it on the dyno tomorrow to see what it can do.

Quick question! If my wastage is a 1 bar spring shouldn't I see that amount of boost whenever I go full throttle? My Borg would hit 14.7 consistently, this turbo is a hit or miss sometimes. 13.8, 14.0, 13.6, etc. Someone said that with a turbo that flows more air it will force the wastegate open sooner and that's why I'm not hitting my desired boost level. Hmmm.

 

with a 1 Bar spring even if the boost controller is off, you should see around 1 bar, so ''yes'' what your seeing looks fine, a bigger turbo could have that effect.

 

That thing is def. No good. They can say whatever they want, not even the ebay turbos do that hahaaa.. might as well dyno your car ans see what see does. You already paid for it.

 

Oh and go with the borg was wondering how the 67mm does on the 13brew.

 

The wastegate boost level is never 100% on target. Anything and everything can influence the wastegate boost level. Where the boost was sourced from, manifold design, size of wastegate, backpressure before turbo, weather, etc. Its only a concern if its overboosting, a little bit under, who cares hehe.

^^^^that's the thing. Nothing changed. I use to have a rock solid 14.7psi showing on my boost gauge. I have three to choose from. Lol. Defi unit, my Eboost2, and the pfc. Just the turbo change and now the fluctuation. Hmmm. And I'm suppose to get a tune on the 25th. I'm gonna see what the tuner says when he sees the car.

 

Overnight that 67mm bw turbo. I too want to see results on a 13b. I want to upgrade but have q hard time buying another 67mm turbo.
