GT35R turbine,

GT35R 1.06 A/R exhaust housing.

48 trim T04S or cut down TO4B 60-1 (<< same thing) compressor wheel

... yes they are smaller than BA-BF, and thus have a lower max power, but for response and all out street-abillity they work very well

I'm pretty impressed with mine. Sure it hasn't got the big top end but for street use and track work this size turbo is hard to beat. Response and spool up is excellent.

Hey Benny just wondering if with a tune,injectors and the XR8 intake whats the turbo audio like?

Does it have a sweet spooling sound or not much louder over the std setup and tune

[Benny]

Rick,

I'm still running a standard oem filter so the noise isn't that much louder but there is a slight increase with the extra boost my tune is running. Once I decide on a cold air intake and filter then I'd expect the noise to increase.

Sorry Rick I don't really have anyone available to do the filming of a drive by and it's bucketing down where I am.

So what turbo's are better the ones on the ba/bf or the fg?

Ive heard the new 1z on the fg, Have a better working inside, and make more horsepower and spool alot quicker?? Not sure if its all true but

The Turbo on the FG XR6 is a miss-match.

They use the same compressor wheel as a GT2540R but mounted on a GT35R turbine.

What they did with the turbo is a bit of a bandaid solution to the real problem.

With so many better options available it seems they have taken the cheapest easiest path.

The FG XR6 turbo is defiantly not a better turbo than the BA/BF and FPV GT3582R turbo.

If you are looking for a bolt on sideways step from the FG turbo that will outperform the FG turbo in every way try a GT3076R with a internally wastegated 1.06 A/R.

The only cool thing about the FG XR6 turbo is the bigger wastegate flap
