    Compressor upgrade

    Description:

    Had this kicking around my shed, figured I'd sell it cheap since I probably won't ever use it.

    This actually came off an Ebay turbo, but don't let that steer you away. The only problem with ebay turbo's is the turbine side, they don't put enough inconel in the turbine wheel so they melt. But with the compressor side there's zero problems.
    So I measured it up, 2.29 inducer and 2.75'' exducer, which would make this a T04B H trim compressor. The inducer is larger than a 57 trim T04E (2.23'')! I ran this on my car up to 20 pounds of boost for months before the turbine side melted as explained. I was making roughly 275-300whp. The compressor wheel rubbed the housing ever so slightly, but there's no bent fins and IMO it would still be fine to run.
    Also I'd like to say, the T04B compressor housing is far easier to run than the T04E housing. The B housing does shoot out some (just not at an angle), and I was able to clear the head and run it as is on a stock exhaust manifold. Pics shown below.

    2.75'' inlet, 2'' outlet on the compressor housing. I was able to just crimp a 3'' silicone 90 down onto it just fine though.

    This setup is ideal for a cheap upgrade. Find yourself a .63 turbine, upgrade the compressor to this, and have a turbo easily capable of 350hp.

    Sorry Vigo I bought it. Figured since I got in on the TU .63 group buy and the turbo I'm using now is a converted log Garrett with a tiny air inlet and a hammered wheel (should never have used it in retrospect) that this was a great buy at $45!

    Yeah I just wanted a quick sale and to get it out of my shed. Here's a pic of the housing showing the jut out, and then a pic of it in my engine bay clearing the head (although touching it with the pipe) and also the 3'' silicone 90 clamped down onto the 2.75'' inlet.
