new turbo

[asc_up]

ok so i'm planning on buying the TD05H-16G from Deadbolt.

http://www.boostplanet.com/product2.htm



it has a few options with it. i'm getting it monster ported for sure.
my questions are:
1. Is it worth it to get the compressor and turbine housings coated?

2. Do I need the "compressor housing outlet port?"

3. I'm planning on running 16-17 psi. should i get a higher rated PSI wastegate actuator?

4. WTF is a turbine wheel clip?



Sorry if these are n00b questions

On the left side of their homepage there is a list of topics. Click on services, you will find what clipping is described there. I would get the coating for both the turbine side and compressor side. Save some money and don't have the compressor side ported. They overhauled my VF-12. I had the exhaust side ported, center section rebuild, jet black coating for turbine side, larger compressor wheel. If I had to do it all over again, I would not have bought the VF-12 and sent it to them, but just buy from Deadbolt the one you are getting. When you get ready to start your installs let me know and I will show you what I did to get it done.

If you have the extra cash, i would get the turbine side coated. the compressor side wouldn't do as much.

the outlet port might make a difference, i don't know.

i would stick with the stock actuator that they provide and then use a boost controller

a turbine clip takes some material off of the turbine wheel. it lets it flow more. the benifit is that you will be able to boost to a higher PSI, and it will also help with boost creep if there is any, but the turbo will spool a bit slower.

at 16-17 psi, i don't think the turbine clip would be necessary on a turbo of that size. you'll get a bit more top end power, but as i said it will spool slower.

if i got that turbo, i would do a monster port with a coated turbine, and get a outlet port if you have a bit more to spend since its only $45

ok thanks for your replies guys.

i talked with jake at PIA (jake15) and basically what i'm going to do is just run with the wastegate spring that it originally come with that way i can run less than 16 psi if i want.

so original spring, and i think i'll spend the money to get the compressor and turbine sides heat coated.


and just to clarify, the compressor outlet port is not a necessary thing? what exactly is it?

[kleinkid]

Compresssor Port--Deadbolt's website explains what it is, and has a before and after picture. It makes the interior dimension of the outlet port larger, and may help the forced air flow better(more) to the IC/TB.

Are you buying the 90 degree inlet or the modified straight inlet?

I spoke with them when I bought mine. The compressor inlet port is a big deal on the 90 degree inlet. I thought I didn't have the comp outlet port done, however from looking at the pics, they did that as well. I also had the turbine housing ported & both the comp. & turbine housings coated. If you search, you should be able to find my thread and the specifics from when I talked with deadbolt.

Here's pics of my turbo

yes i'm getting the 90 degree inlet. why is it a big deal to get it done?

[Arctic Assassian]

because the amount of turbulance created by the 90* is greatly offset by the port job. Smooth air in equals smooth air out.

[asc_up]

gotcha.

[Legacy777]

The stock casting sucks at the 90 degree bend according to deadbolt.

I've seen it, it definitly sucks. Theres some sharp edges in there, and it gets pretty bumpy.
