The P trim should work fine, but would the Q trim be better? The extra $150 it will cost for the Q trim would not be an issue at all in the grand scheme of things. Now if the P trim would be better than the Q trim it's a different story. I've just always been told that with a ported motor that the Q trim is the type to go with. Just wanting to make sure I get the best of what I need.

I would go with the clipped P trim in a 1.15 housing on a briged 13b. The only reason I would go for the Q trim housing was if it was going on a ported 20b, and you basically can't go over the 1.32 P trim. I seem to remember Crispeed running a 1.32 P trim hot side on his 9.2 second car. Something about the old turbonetics Qtrim wheels comming apart.

I have heard here and there about ceramic turbines. Anyone had experience with those or knows anything? They are suposed to speel really fast and handle heat very well.



PS:

just got my issue of popular science, they made diamonds artificialy. Wait thats that the good part. The good part is they are going to go for 5$ per 2 carats!! At that rate we can afford to make a solid diamond turbo, LOL ^^ you know what they say, diamonds last forever

also P trim wheels are cheaper, so when you start chucking peices of apex seals threw them the turbo doesn't cost as much to overhaul...

they do all that but they do get destroyed if a particle were to hit it and crack it. once you compromise it's structural integrity the wheel will break. unfortunately, on a rotary it's not unlikely to break an apex seal and spit it out the exhaust port. you can just say goodbye to a very expensive turbine wheel.
