Greetings all,
My turbo attempted to shred itself yesterday so I am in the market for a better turbo. It appears that Borgwarner has a turbo which may be of interest to some, especially if your turbo is dying a terrible death (mine is). Their SB1G line is similar to the GBC 14 but is T25* flanged!
Of interest are part nos 313295 (0.35 compressor A/R), 313296 (0.46 compressor A/R).
The GBC14 compressor AR is 0.52. The stock turbo A/R is 0.63.
Borg Warner SB1G (313295) data:
compressor inducer:34mm
compressor exducer: 46.99mm
Turbine inducer: 34.21mm
Turbine exducer: 40mm
Compressor A/R: 0.35
Trim: Not available
Turbine A/R: Not available
Overall length: 169.4mm

GBC 14 data:
compressor inducer: 34mm
compressor exducer: 46mm
Compressor A/R: 0.52
Turbine inducer: 39mm
Turbine exducer: 36mm
Turbine A/R: 0.45
Overall length: 162mm
For comparison GT1548 compressor map (I think)
