Homer would be proud

 

why?

 

whatever there for that turbo just made me nut all over my computer.

 

For more turbulent air flow y0!

 

lmao. i need a towel though.
damn..look at the nut on the end of the comp wheel...that thing should be on a 757

why woudl you do this anyways? interesting.

 

Explain what the purpose of that is please. Also, that nut on the end of the comp wheel is SICK!

 

Damn, I would love to have a closer look at that.

I thought that too when I read the title.

 

Yeah, I'm guessing for air-turbulence. Are the sleeves on the outlet thick enough that that could be a pass through for air that isn't going throught the center houseing.

OWWWW, what about maybe a vent for compressor surge??

grasping at straws here

Here's the info according to Overoost, "HKS has also updated the T04-based turbochargers by modifying the compressor inlet with anti-reversion holes. It looks as though the holes are drilled the wrong direction for anti-reversion, but we were told by HKS super-secret agent Willie Yee that the holes actually reduce compressor impact during when driving in the surge range of the turbocharger, such as when letting off the throttle to shift."

My only guess would be that they are trying to create turbulence at the outer lip to effectively reduce the inlet size when there is no load to pull the air in, while at the same time minimally (or not) affecting on the throttle performance. The nut alone should tell ya there's some thought involved there

 

id french kiss that thing but it would bite my tounge off

 

woot, I win!

Aren´t those holes serving the same function as the dimples in Golf *****, which reduce aerodynamic drag?

 

I would say the the housing saying "TO4Z" pretty much says it all..

Unf !!
