I know nothing, but will be keeping an eye on it. The integrated external wastegate flange on the compressor housing really grabbed my attention.

Kinda nice, but with Mr. Buschur making more power than that with the stock turbo it seems kind of senseless. It's also pretty stupid at how much torque was lost with that turbo. It must really hurt the spool up, and it LOOKS like it wouldn't flow very well either. The turbine side that is. It seems like a novel idea, but not a very practical one.

Point taken, but also consider this:

Engine is completely stock with the exception of a 3.00" exhaust system to compliment the 3.00" Stainless downpipe included in the kit. Stock airbox, stock front mounted intercooler, and stock cams are all retained. Fueling is done via 660cc injectors and a custom tuned Works Rally reflashed ECU.


Whereas Buschur uses other bolt ons and is boosting somewhere in the mid-20's. These guys are only pushing 20. And yes, that angle into the compressor housing is a little odd. Regardless, I wouldn't even consider this as an option until I see some dyno charts on the liquid crack and 25+ PSI with supporting mods. Who am I kidding... I'm not replacing my turbo anytime soon ;)
