Not a bad write up mattyP

6466 even with the 1.07 rear spools faster than a baby FG turbo.....that could do with some editing OP as its a major draw card for the 6466.

GTX3582 makes more peak than a 6235 as well but the GTX spools a tad later.

Ah well all I've heard what was mentioned above. Like I said turbos like tuners become political when comparing them. Its incredibly difficult to find direct comparisons because everyones motors/mods are different

Fuel pump needs to be upgraded long before mid 300's if you want a correctly operating fuel system

that's why I mentioned its good to change it anyway. I remember seeing your flow tests and that's why I upgraded. 350rwkw on E85 on a standard pump isn't a great idea

Don't forget to mention the Earl's oil filter, this could be part of stage 0 process.

Very true

Or just removing the factory screen is just as good

don't even need the braided line / filter ... as Luke told me -- bash out the OEM filter thing, and continue using a factory line -- IF you service your car well / on schedule. (probably want an engine in good condition, with no oil gunk built up inside it)

I agree too, as it is all I ever did with my FD, 32, capri, etc

haha beat me to it

Something about great minds thinking alike

I do like the wog spec braided line

Lunch a motor and you will wish a filter was fitted to the turbo.....a motor going can be out of ones hands even with all the boxes ticked....nature of the game we play.

Another issue with this practise I see is someone buying a car that wasn't serviced the best and has some build up inside.....introduce a far better oil change routine and the turbo bearing may find themselves meeting with particles of a decent micron and affect the bearings in the turbo.

The factory had the right idea they just didn't execute it the best way.

My mates subaru suffered this fate

Hadnt been serviced properly

Did an oil change using the good stuff

Clogged is turbo feed

4k later thanks to a mechanic who didnt replace the line the first 3 times and just kept replacing turbos
