Nice 👍 turbo,the compressor housing looks like good quality not cheap knock off,probably one of the best plug and play turbo out there!Keep up the good content I’m starting to learn how to read compressor maps because of you ,thanks!

Hi. Can u help? Im sizing a china ebay turbo for 20v 1.8t vw engine. Can i pick any cold AR that i want? Or do i have to get the right family size and pick within there? Like gt28 vs gt30 vs gt35
Tomi, I wouldn't go near a chinese paperweight if i were you - not unless you planning on doing an experiment to test something - but if you planning on wasting your money and purchasing a knock off "something something" for your own vehicle to actually drive and use, which it sounds like you are.... there shouldn't really be many compressor housing AR options with the majority of turbochargers, because the compressor flow, mach speed, air speed, volume and other aspects of the delivery from the housing are governed, managed, limited, affected, restricted, (to name a few) by the housing AND compressor wheel match -- Always back to basics - 1) What is the intended applicaiton? (drift, drag, street, circuit etc) 2) What is your intended HP output? 3) What fuel are you going to use? 4) What do you plan on boosting to make the power? (this and point 3 and point 2 will confirm eachother) 5) etc ..... Will determine 90% of what turbo you decide to use at the end of the day, not the AR of the comp housing. Sorry i cannot be of much more assistance than this, until i know more about your project. When i make suggestions, i make them based on proven turbochargers, brands, etc -- you can take that info and choose to buy some paperweight model copied in the asian backyard of shenyang or the likes thereafter - but id warn you against this - and i can almost guarantee you another thing - cheap = EXPENSIVE, if you havent learnt this yet - you will.
@@TurboDirectSA very true it's a risky venture. I suppose as this is my first big turbo experience I like buying something cheap to play with. If it only lasts a short while, then a proper replacement will have gained from the research and experience of the failed predecessor. Additionally my goal is 500-800hp range. I want as much as I can get. Fully built motor. Either 100octane or e85. I can do either. Slight 1.9 stroker build (rods pistons valves springs crank)
@@tadman3d Buddy let me give you some advise, i see this exact scenario on a daily basis with so many clients. If you go to the beach, you either swimming in the sea or you tanning on the beach - there is no in between. 800HP is not joke, as much as its your first project, i dont think you actually know what you in for - you playing with a loaded gun by buying a cheap knock off product, i have seen many of these thing burst and explode on my own dyno. To build an 800HP or even 600HP setup on a 4cylinder, you going to have to invest in a forged bottom end, this costs money, alot more than a cheap turbo. You will need to invest in a clutch, a proper clutch that will hold the power, and provide you with some form of "soft" pedal feel especially if you on the street and possibly in traffic at all - this costs money - more than a cheap turbo. The drive train is next - more money, or it WILL break. More than a cheap turbo. You will need injectors - once again proper injectors that are matched, balanced, and flow the same (or close to eachother) costs money - more than a cheap turbo - You will need an ECU to control this (stock ECU is tricky and always having to flash and reflash.... ) you need a standalone to have full and continuous control over the tuning. This costs money - more than a cheap turbo .... So you land up investing in a large some of money on the above (and i havent listed everything above....) and then the component that is MAINLY responsible for driving that investment above is the turbo, and then you skimp on spending on this "insurance policy" for the above engine build ..... not wise at all. When (not if) the turbo fails there is a big chance it will destroy your engine and/or cooler and and and..... Decide are you sun tanning or swimming. If you swimming, you arent walking with your feet in the water - you are in the water under the water .... Do the job properly the first time, or dont bother - thats my advise to you. Use it, lose it.... your choice.

do you loose performance from going a smaller front AR compressor housing also?
Yes Chris you will - the smaller the AR the less flow capacity the housing has, and the more restriction it will create.
@@TurboDirectSA would be good if you had a vid on front ar housings what they're good for with response :)

I like that electronically controlled actuator; i wonder if it can be found at a logical price :)
Yes it can - there are many chinese knock off's of the actuator, but IHI might bring this out into the repair side of the market.

Nope!
