Borg Warner Turbos

[Halon]

Yeah I'm excited to hear what they will cost. Depending on the cost, I may have to reconsider my turbo option. If the added cost of the turbo is easily offset by the cost savings it would induce (i.e. purchasing and plumbing WG's and BOV no longer needed), I may reconsider. And while it makes the turbo itself a bit more complex, it simplifies everything else and cleans up the engine bay because of those same things mentioned above (no external BOV's or WG's, and their respective plumbing).

But if they cost $2500, then well I'll just stick with my simple 84-75 :)

Sorry, I don't think any of these come with cute blue wheels... :D

kidding kidding!!

Haha billet is what really is the hotness behind that blue, and these ET comp wheels are sexeh! All the other stuff sure sounds pretty amazing on paper; I just hope the built in BPV/BOV doesn't SUCK like the ones that come on the stock vw turbo comp covers. Anna's car came with one--for reference, a plastic 2G BOV from a '97 w/ 140k miles on it held boost better. Seriously. And we're talking 18psi, not 30+ like a lot of us would intend to run these turbos at!

I likey these.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

Did they release any pricing on them? I would really be surprised if they cost less than a 1G DSM.

[Halon]

I'm scouring my normal sites everyday and putting up the info here as soon as I find anything out. And so far no pricing...

Here is however a graph someone had made based on compressor maps, comparing different sized comp wheels to what the maps claim they flow. Just some eye candy, take it for what it's worth:
