Default Borg warner?

I went with a BW/bullseye for a couple reasons: power and the price compared to a GT series turbo and the customer service

i have no experiences with them, but ive heard several times they're great turbos and good people. now ive also HEARD that these turbos dont last too long, ive only heard this from 1 or 2 people but i have NEVER seen proof of this...so i figure theyre just GT series nut swingers! for bullseye

IF you put a extended tip compressor wheel next to a comparable compressor wheel, you will see the night and day difference. There is more surface area to move more volume of air. I think this has to do with the "Map width enhancement grooves."

when i bought my 366, the guys at Tempest Racing swore I would be happy and that i would make the power i wanted. I actually made more than I ever expected almost on accident.


So I decided to get the S372, waiting on a few parts and it will all be back in the car.

I have had nothing but great times with the Bullseye Crew and thier products

Yup! Here's a pic of a conventional compressor wheel on the left, and the new ETT wheel on the right...

From a side view, the difference is much more obvious.

Dan from Bullseye and Kurt and Thom from BW also give back to the racers, as seen in their support of over $5,000 to the outlaw race!

I have no idea, haha .. I made 450 on a dyno dynamics at 21lbs of boost creeping a bit and stopped because of problems and have done the rest of the tuning at the track, I'm now at ~25lbs of boost and creeping a bit.
