Just and update. Finally got the correct turbo.

One question, Is 2.25" piping large enough for my setup? its 2" before intercooler and 2.25" after that..

thanks

----------------------

First, I order T04B 50 Trim with .48 a/r Stage 2 wheel
I get T04E with .63 Stage a/r 3 wheel
So, I send it back
I get T04B 50 Trim with .48 a/r Stage 1 wheel - Not good.

My setup, I want to run 4.5-5psi on stock type r motor and looking for mid-top end. Is Stage 1 wheel is too small for my setup - Should I send it back again?

Some specs on turbine wheels:
STANDARD - 1.898" (Exducer Diameter) 2.319" (Major Diameter)
STAGE II - 2.122" (Exducer Diameter) 2.559" (Major Diameter)

If you are Auto-xing no, it is not too small.

If you are Drag racing, yes too small.

 

Damn, what seller are you dealing with that has such issues getting you the right turbo? I'd just ask for a refund and go somewhere that knows what the hell they're doing......

I 2nd that, because if they can't handle sending you the right turbo (granted people make mistakes..but man, 2 huge ones? )...who knows what else?

 

manufacturer is revhard.. the dealer i ordered the kit through made the right order, but revhard messed it up twice.. i'm trying to be patient about this - and i don't want to refund the kit unless i can get refund on the turbo and buy it from somewhere else.. - and i doubt that.

 

it is turbonetics turbo btw, if anyone has suggestions, please let me know..

 

should have just kept the T4oE...and how do you know its revhard making the mistake? your shop could be lying to you...just from my experience, RevHard has had nice CS

 

Because revhard admitted they made a mistake on first order by sending the turbo trim i didn't order. Then i was told return T04E and the will send me T04B 50Trim .48 a/r with stage 2 wheel. So i did, instead I get stage 1 wheel. I didn't get an impression that they have bad customer service when i talked over the phone - but very confusing on how they managed to send wrong turbo trim twice.

Either way, I don't want to turn this thread into anything other than what I should do next..

 

ttt.. should i send it back? or keep it?

 

should have kept this:
T04E with .63 Stage a/r 3 wheel

But it's too late now, so keep sending back till you get what you want.

 

according to compressor maps anything larger than T04B 50Trim was not even in my boost range, where i had to draw lines to even get on there - i plan to run a mild setup and i want it to be efficient - either way, its too late for t04e.. so far i'm probably going to send it back - but more opinions are welcome

here's a funny thing I think can relate to this...

stage1 wheel=girl
stage3 wheel=woman

would you rather go out with a girl or a woman?

the girl can do it, but the woman will do it the way you want it

well said Although, sometimes the girl is fun to smack around...lol..j/k

 

Something isn't right with your trim selections, T04B are all Letter for their trim, ie.. S trim, V trim, Super V trim, H trim etc etc, only numbers is 60-1 and 62-1 are still in the B family, T04E are all number trim as you stated 50trim, 57trim, 60 trim etc etc, The wheel stages are correct but someone has the Compressor wheels all wrong. Just FYI, if I'm wrongplease direct me to where I need to go for that info.

 

Heres the Compressor sheel options....

Unless they are machining the T04B Compressor housing to fit an E wheel in it which I've heard of companies doing for space limitations. HTH

 

it is T04B S trim which is also T04B 50 trim.

 

im truly sorry to here that... hopefully you will get the right one..it sucks when you ask for specific parts and you dont get them..

 

Just and update. Finally got the correct turbo.
