Ok so whats tangential housing mean again. Also how is a V-band better, I have sene one before but i dont see how it is better. Is it just bigger? Can you tell me more about the trim intake and exit side, A/r intake, size of the wheels and a map. I need to finish corky bells book. Also how much boost do you plan on running?

Tangential is pretty much how the turbo sits in the car, as far as I understand it, hence the need for a V-band setup.



I ordered a 1.00 a/r turbo, so this info isn't entirely accurate:





I plan to run enough boost for 350WHP (which I've been told is around 8psi with my motor) and gradually up the boost as I get comfortable driving it and tuning it.



As far as a map, I don't have one but I'm sure you can search and find one.

V band is used for tangential housings. On-center housings use a 4 bolt flange and gasket (and it's no fun when one of the bolts snaps off... always the one you can't get to).

On-center housings have a little bump in the exhaust path to make way for one of the inlet flange bolts. Tangential housings do not have this obstruction and may flow better for that reason.

Divided scroll is available only in tangential (and always a good thing in my book).
