If you have ever drove or rode in a car that is BP you won't beable to say it isnt worth it.

The theory behind BP turbo is becoming more widely accepted, so it is only natural to have coots mouth off against doing that to rotary motors. I just did my BP turbo and will post up on the whole adventure, and thanks to BDC, he convinced me that reliability would not be a major issue.

I was completely against it last year and the year before and refused to do it. But, after finally being convinced, I'm totally sold on it. I think there's particular ways it has to be done but it seems to be quite effective.

yeah i mean if you're only going for like 300hp theres no point to a bp turbo motor...

That's an arguable point but nonetheless valid. I would argue that it somewhat depends on the user and what they're looking for. Even though the setups I generally do are geared and intented for high 300's and above, it wouldn't be unheard to have a half-BP engine w/ a T4-sized turbo making 300rwhp. The user may want the cool idle and attention-getting of the noise and lope even though he or she isn't making gobs of power.



Practically speaking, I think you're right and I think the half BP is better designed for a turbo setup that's looking to drive a slightly larger turbocharger with higher peak HP and torque figures.
