ive recently purchased a T38 (so ive been told)

its got the 63 exhaust housing, but the comp housing is the same as my T34 housing is it common for the T34 housing to be machined out to use the T38 wheel

i know the Turbo Technics are bigger!! have i been ripped off????

Is it a Universal T38?? Mine looks exact to a T34 aswell, even had the Actuator bracket on but Jim removed it..

MINE........With 70mm hose..

yeah imo you have the better T38, as the Turbo Technics one surges like hell

Really? i 've heard that also, i think you can squeeze a few more horses out of the TT one though. Mine should be around 440-450 when it's back from mapping..

I've heard a few people say that but haven't had any problems myself, i'm really really happy with it and it just pulls really hard all the way to the limiter!

What power are you running on yours??

when i was considering a spec change a while ago i was advised by my mapper to stay away from the TT one ,as it would deffo need a live map with air injectors to clean the surge up

Dont know as it hasnt been rolling roaded or whatever but i'm guessing somewhere around the 400bhp mark?

When the engine cant cosume the volume of air that the turbo is producing

my turbo technics t38 is a shit load better all round than my old t34 pulls really well higher up the revs compared to the t34...

iTrader: (3)

so what actually happens. turbo stalls? why would this not happen on a bigger turbo (t4)? just wondering as i hear this term alot but never really known what it means

In what sense?

Weaver

In the sense that it's not the right spec turbo for the engine spec. Suffers from surge quite badly. The engine in his car would be far more suited to a T34.

As long as your engine is specced correctly then the TT T38 will be fine.

Weaver

Oh and don't listen to Mcpostie he's only moaning because he has got a little turbo Not that it matters as his engine is completely shagged anyway

mcbernie

balls weaver ha ha (its Mcbernie not mcpostie, twat)

theres nothing wrong with my turbo, bigger aint always better.

it'll work better than the Wongs Turbo!!

and the motor will be sorted shortly

wongthecorrupter

twat. has he broke you bernie.

wongthecorrupter

bernie will never catch the corrupter.
