Short version: Which would give bigger power numbers, a .63 A/R with 3" exhaust outlet, or .82 A/R with 2" exhaust outlet?
Explanation: Hey everyone, I have two turbos, and would like to know which one will give bigger numbers. On the car, I have a TE-44 with what looks like a .63 A/R exhaust side (also looks like it says .83, but I've never heard of that) and 3" outlet to the downpipe.
The other turbo is un-named, but has a .82 A/R and only a 2" exit to the DP. It has a stock appearance because it has a bolt-on bell like a TA series turbo. They both have an A/R of .60 on the compressor side. Both have adjustable wastegate rods.
If I swap back to the mystery turbo, I can run a stock ported DP elbow and 2.75" DP. The benefit of this would be selling the TE-44 and the Mease DP. Since the TE-44 has a larger exit, I would have to keep the Mease DP on there, or it will be restricted by the stock elbow.
My car is putting out weak numbers for what I have. I am going to drop it off at a TR shop tomorrow, and want them to tune it along with some other work. So if I get some replies today, I will either swap turbo's or keep the TE-44 on there. Thanks for the help.
- I have bluetops, Walbro307, adj. fpr, SMC alky kit, RJC PowerPlate, stock i/c, stock convertor, Hooker cat-back, a Thrasher92 and a Red Armstrong 93, I think that's about it worth mentioning.
