T3 Turbine Housing on BW S300SX FMW
I made 670WHP @ 26 PSI with my PTE 6265 T3 .82ar exhaust housed turbo (b series)
I have sold that turbo.
I came across the BW S300SX FMW and have concerns about the size of .71 AR T3 housing that they offer. What kind of results should I expect with the FMW with this housing vs the .82 ar housing on the 6265 that I was running?
This change is coming because the oil pump cracked so I figured why not change the turbo at the same time as the motor work (pistons and hone). I will be upgrading the compression for a 9:1 piston to a 10:1 so they should also help.
There is also additional concern due to lack of space. I am running an AC Ramhorn manifold on my Del Sol and the 6265 fit rather tight but have seen people fit T3 S366s on this style manifold. I would assume i would have to make some minor down pipe modifications for the turbo to fit but that is not a major concern.

So, what effect will prevail?
Hard to tell up front I think without trying it out or direct real life comparison.
On the up side: if it does fall on its face before full power potential is reached, you can just switch the turbine housing on the Borg as the basis (wheel size) is large enough.

Re: T3 Turbine Housing on BW S300SX FMW
While I think I was making relatively good power on a b series setup at 26psi (670whp) there were some signs of back pressure.
I wonder what the comparison on a 65mm wheel with a 82ar housing vs a 75mm wheel with a 71ar housing would be?
The compressor seems nearly identical on both turbos.

The A/R is smaller on the Borg turbo, but the turbine wheel itself is (much) larger at 75mm (iirc) outside diameter as opposed to the 65mm of the Precision.
