Not the same, so I wouldn't make any assumptions about their turbo, especially since mine definitely has an issue. I'm getting good at swapping it now!Was your new turbo like the one by turbokits that has the same housing size as oem but larger compressor and turbine wheels? Or, was your turbo a different design altogether?
Just curious because the turbokits one seems like it is being sent out to customers already and it would be interesting to know if, at the moment, it is best to hold off on installing it or something similar (i.e., "larger" turbos) before other supporting mods and tuning are available.
You mentioned the turbine side design maybe being suboptimal for this testing. I have also seen other mods in development for the intake side of the engine. Things like the turbo compressor inlet elbow, boost tubes, and throttle body inlet elbow seem to be categorized as restrictions or things that can be improved upon.
Do you think it is worth it to look into optimizing the intake path in this way to maximize the amount of air mass into the cylinders? As in, would this increase in air density allow the engine to pump enough air through it to get back into the optimal turbine operating range for your new turbo with larger turbine? Assuming no choking of the flow from the pressure the compressor is producing. Or, did you mean that the problem is simply in the new turbo design at this point?
I haven't seen any results from the other kit - good or bad.
