KurtP Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 and the internet hype begins... This. Its probably already 'turbo of the month' on nasioc. I think its hilarious that the people who wouldnt drop 600 bucks on a bolt on a 30year old design 18g turbo a year ago because 'it wasn't tested for reliability' are lining up to give borgwarner and co $5000, a blow job for every BW executive and a hand job to Geoff just to get on a waiting list for something they haven't even SEEN work yet. It very well could be good stuff, but for crying out loud people, cool your jets and maintain objectivity. You havent even SEEN one yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimberDHexMods Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Not all of us are smart enough to realize we should just buy a $1400 18g instead of wasting our time pretending it is possible to innovate the modern turbocharger. It cant possibly get any better than the non-hype Blouch product line. Congress should close the patent office! Speaking of which I still want to see that 18G plotted against a 68HTA, same dyno same tuner same mods same ambient temp [CENTER][B][I] Front Limited Slip Racing Differentials for the 5EAT now available for $1895 shipped, please inquire for details!

It cant possibly get any better than the non-hype Blouch product line. Congress should close the patent office! YOU aren't innovating anything! I'm all for new tech but half the people here are lining up to spend money on something that they have zero knowledge of it's actual performance or reliability. Maybe it will be great in which case: great. But you don't even know what it will do yet. Speaking of which I still want to see that 18G plotted against a 68HTA, same dyno same tuner same mods same ambient temp Then you better order some turbos for your car and find a tuner that works fast. I'm certainly not taking my car toget tuned for your sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 No I have not tuned both side by side. Heck I dont do the tuning Shamar does. But we spoke in great detail about the new XT line of turbos. In the end, we figured that 47lbs is 47lbs. None of the XT's are rated high enough above 50lbs to make it worth it. Having tuned the turbos on different cars for customers, their is no real gain from an XT over a 68HTA. Not in the 18G. The 20G would spool too slow and so would the 2.5 (for me). IMHO the 18gXT is no better than a 68HTA. The extra ponies I speak of in the 68HTA are from a larger hotside a bunch of porting, EWG and of course my favorite e-85. Pretty sure I can hit 450whp with the set up. I think I am going to try before stepping into the EFR ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I was not taking anything personal. I did not think you were specifically asking me, its ok. I was just offering info. I dont expect Kurt to swap his new turbo. I was considering testing an XT. After our powwow (Shamar and I), I changed my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimberDHexMods Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 So 22 more days until we get to find out whether it is a better turbo or just a rebranded Hoover vacuum cleaner. Oddly it may be a turbo, or so it appeared to be on that EVO. [CENTER][B][I] Front Limited Slip Racing Differentials for the 5EAT now available for $1895 shipped, please inquire for details!

The new Blouch TMIC compatible turbos - think rehashed AVO, but with absolutely no testing or graphs to speak of.

KurtP Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 The new Blouch TMIC compatible turbos - think rehashed AVO, but with absolutely no testing or graphs to speak of. in which case, you should be just lining up to buy 8. This is the crap im talking about. The xt wheel platform is proven. all they do is change the compressor housing and you want testing and graphs. But you will blow the blue balls right off of geoff for a completely new turbo frame design before its even hit production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleBlueGT Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 I am tired of talking of things when I can't talk. I have pics, I have info, the prices are not high, in fact they will (apples to apples) make things cheaper. You will see.

NSFW Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I'm very surprised how much $$$$ you've sunk into a stock location singlescroll kit, not a rotated twinscroll Rotated twinscroll kits do not exist for the Legacy, in spite of what some claim. If you want to install one, it will be a custom piece. Or you'll be a guinea pig for a kit that hasn't been proven on the Legacy, which amounts to the same thing. I would have gone rotated, but when I was choosing parts the benefits did not outweigh the cost (and risk). Since that time, only Harman has come up with an off-the-shelf proven kit. That said, I'm looking forward to seeing the EFR stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarg Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I can talk with Tony at T1 about this tomorrow. But is there any demand for one, besides you and one other person? Seems most are more excited about the factory location turbos than the rotated kits. We do have a BIG hp LGT wagon in the works at our shop though with a rotated kit. They are out there, but much more uncommon for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have inside info on something that will truly cause a big change. Larger then any in the past few decades. You have restrictions on what info you can leak, but you are truly excited about what it has to offer.

You just need to make a case that it is a marketable and scalable product. Item will sell at a minimum cost of XQuantity demanded for product at X price will be around YOther items will need to be sold to accompany it, which can be bundled by FR. They are ___ Once the STi platform adopts the '10+ LGT style, they'll be all over it. Rumor is they haven't left the 05-09 '10-style fitment stone unturned for research purposes.
