What companies are making BB replacement turbos other than TN and Garrett?
How do they stack up to handling boost pressures?
Will they last awhile?

 

[Charles]

You just named both companies offering a BB drop in, and one of those is just now starting initial offerings.

The Garrett unit is tough as nails. Most BB units are. Mine has probably 4 or 5 years on it and it has been treated rough. 40-50lbs of boost all the time for the past year or so. With exhaust gas temps deep into the 1700's everytime I went WOT it was not babied. B-codes for about 2 years now.

Time will tell how the TN unit holds up, but I'm sure it will more than likely be fine as well.

garret is the common bb...tn is soon to release one after more testing .
there are others ,i think one goes by the name big bad wolf. ats has some,
isn't the h2e abb of sorts.

 

[DarkShadowDiesel]

no, the h2e is not a bb and neither is the big bad wolf. they are both thrust bearing.
as charles said, garrett and tn make the drop in bbs with the tn being released soon hopefully.

I think the ATS BB was the early version of what is now the Garrett?

 

[DarkShadowDiesel]

yup, i think they share most of the same parts, i heard something like ~65% once but am not sure

 

[southmike]

how bout the ats aurora 5000? 60~70lb boost
I saw a kit a while back but they seemed to vanish

but seems like lott and bunting were looking at those a while back and the 42 was better
not sure but i thought i saw it on another forum ..dieselperformance or something like that.

I would not buy anything from ATS...

I just fell out of my chair... We agree on something...

 

[Deerezilla]

Yeah how about that. I ordered a ats 5.9 manfold and it would not fit. the only way I got my Money back was i called the credit card. I guess Tadd was holding ats together.

brian ran an A5K... wound up going to turbonetics. as for dave, i am not sure.

That is also not a "drop-in" unit either. There is only one of those, soon to be two.

If the fab kit to allow it to be mounted to the engine counts as drop in, then my set of compounds are also a drop-in as well...
