So you know a little about this one? Does anyone else have any info on it? I don't mind if it's 42 or a little smaller. I'm only looking for a decently clean 500hp... I was looking at it as an option though.
I wouldn't necessarily recommend it if you tow a lot or at a high elevation, but I daily drove with it and towed the CompD Ranger from FL to TX with it with no issues. Just gets a little smokey every once in a while. It was Snow White's GT45 though, so I imagine you could put a smaller turbine housing on it than whatever that one had. It was a little bit laggy, but man was it fun. Sorta like foreplay.
For those interested, I ran one of those for over 2 years, and I beat the sh!t out of it every day of its life.
Made 48 psi on kill, egt's were good, I even had to modify the comp wheel when I chipped off one of the blades on install.
(Fixed it buy snapping off about an equal size chunk off of the opposite blade with a pair of needle nose pliers.)
I did tow with it, and it only surged 1 time, I was at 7300' pulling a 32' TT and lugging it in OD.
I would throw mine back on in a heartbeat and not worry abit about it. Currently I have an "HRT Enginering" charger that I will be tossing on soon.
I have 70,000 miles on it, 25,000 with AD's and the rest with 238cc hybrids with 100% nozzles making 500+.
I made the mounting kit for it and have no complaints about it. With an auto it will spool great with little smoke and when it lights hold on.
With a standard it is a little laggy between gears and such, but my experience with that charger has been very impressive.
The only reason I am working on other options is simply that I cannot get parts easily and readily and do not know anything about it except that it works great.
