Marvick08GT Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I have researched both, I'm not sure of the pros and cons of either. I have a pnp coated vf52 that i just threw in with an external wastegate.. I like the setup, but the wife does not like the noise.. I want to block off my external wastegate and run internally gated. I have the supporting mods so i figured the wife wants quiet, I'll "upgrade" the turbo to quiet it down.. pnp headers, gs xover, gs ewg up and tial 38mm wg. Invidia catted divorced dp, q300 Gs tmic, id1050x , perrin inlet, aem cai V3 btw, once i decide I'll have the ceramic coated vf52 with ~500 miles for sale, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtea Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 This is better if stock location. http://bcpdirect.com/bcp-x500-turbo-sti-wrx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvick08GT Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Looks promising, looking at what i can find online it looks like the dom 1.5xtr spools faster? I see the bcp is $400 cmless though. Any more info on it? Seems like i can only find info going back a year or so? Also every one i saw ran ewg.. there is no option, it needs to be iwg.. Thanks for the info!

xtea Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Its internally gated, spools 100-250 rpm sooner them dom 1.5xtr, holds about 100-250 rpm longer up top, is made in the usa, cheaper, and isnt made by blouch who have terrible customer service. If you compare dual avcs vs non dual avcs (forget about which gear the hero pull was done) cars running the same Turbo spool will be all over the place. Nasioc has a thread on it. Big ron likes it, you should too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtea Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I'm sure you know how to use google. Hint: Try the words nasioc and x500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvick08GT Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 Purchased a Blouch Dominator 1.5xt-r 8cm.. Will go on in a couple weeks with the ID1050x injectors. Thanks for the advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtea Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Why? You didnt use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gex Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Because the Dom is awesome. Good choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvick08GT Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Why? You didnt use it. But i did.. We just don't agree The graphs i saw didnt show the x500 spooling faster (in fact slower..) than the 1.5xtr. I called Blouch and Boosted performance. Guess who was more knowledgeable about their product? Guess who had the better customer service? Mike @ Blouch Performance Turbo That is why I gave them my business, i have no doubt i will be incredibly happy. What is your setup? I still need to add my mods too lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtea Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Turn in concepts is using this turbo now over the dom because of the graph above. Red is the x500 green is the dom. I've seen more negative comments regarding blouch if you have a turbo failure. If you are talking to sales yeah they give you the rub n tug before you buy. I'm running rotated efr 6758. If I had gone stock location I'd be with the x500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkinslow Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 The shop I work with loves this turbo too. If I wasn't on a stock motor with ARP studs I would have gone with the x500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvick08GT Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 I was bot looking for max power. Maybe with E and high boost it works out that way. I doubt a 93 comparo would look the same. Thats the problem, i couldnt find anyone not running 24+ psi on e85 different compression etc. I wil have this on within the month. I will post the dyno results as well. Keep in mind this will be with no engine mods, and pnp oem headers.. this will be a real world test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some turbos definately perform surprisingly better or worse on pump vs e85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 It won't be an apples-to-apples (I have the twinscroll 1.5XT-R) but I am dropping it off for a 93 octane calibration tomorrow. Plan for more octane or better intercooling TBD. The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvick08GT Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Any suggestions of what else i can do to help prepare the cart while i wait? I'm doing the tgv deletes and hopefully a phenolic spacer while I'm there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvick08GT Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 TGV's out and sent to get coated, boost and wideband gauges installed. Prepping for intall once the turbo arrives. Also have amsoil fluid for trans and diff waiting rmo go in, still need to clearance the separator in the downpipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
