Is the BW S258 comparable to a
My turbo rebuild guy is supose to me making me a hybrid turbo. GT35R compressor housing and wheel, and a T3 82AR exhaust housing with a stage 5 turbine wheel. Well he is having trouble finding the 82ar housing cut for a stage five wheel, and I have a tunnig apaointment on saturday march 14th. Anyways..... He has offered me a BW S258 turbo with ETT, he say it has a 70ar exhaust housing but I think he meant 76 ar. Would the BW turbo be comparable the turbo I want built or not? I havent done a little resaerch on the BW but I really am not sure if the 2 compare.

Why not use a straight 35R? The stage 5 wheel doesnt flow as well 68mm UHP turbine. I can order the .82 housing for the Stage 5 wheel if you need, its not hard to get.
The S258 can be had in a .70 and .76 housings, but the .70 open housing is from Bullseye. Its a comparable turbo to a GT3076. The S362 is more similar to a GT35R.

My rebiuld guy just has the compressor housing not the whole turbo. I also told him I wanted the 82ar housing with the stage 5 wheel. Because my tuner told me I needed a turbo bigger than my 60-1 t3 if I was going to use my skunk2 pro1 cams.
How much for the housing with 4 bolt discharge, and how much for the wheel?

Does he have just the housing or the wheel also? Do you have the center cartridge also?
Edit: Are you going with a journal or ball bearing type?

Ill check on the housing tomorrow, should be about $200 shipped. Im not sure on the turbine wheel, but I will find out.
I can get the same setup youre building for about $900 shipped, all assembled and balanced.

Depends upon your HP goal. (you never stated this), because the .70A/R can work just as well, for about 500whp or so. It's similar to a GT3076R through to a GT35R, when pushed far enough. It can work just fine depending upon your needs.

Blake, got the prices. Stage 5 wheel is $205 shipped, 4 bolt housing is $235 shipped. The 5 bolt housing is much more expensive, so I dont think you want that one.
