If you remove the compressor housing and measure the inducer and exducer diam. Or just measure the inducer diam with the housing still on and know the compressor trim, I might find a compressormap that can ballpark your T38.

Ok, now I´ve got something to work with (maybe...). If you could take off the airfilter hose and give me the exact measurement of the diam of the visible part of the compressorwheel I can take a shot in the dark and maybe find a map that would resemble the T38 compressormap.

What´s maximum recommended boost pressure?
Does the compressorcover look like the T35?

yes, the compressor cover is the same as a T35... so im assuming the compressor wheel is the same size ???


i run 27 psi and it makes 440 bhp on an engine dyno.

harvey t38 is a machined t35.

basically the housing is machined out and a larger compressor wheel is fitted.

pretty sure it retains the .63 exhaust housing.

unsure of what size the comp wheel is though

Ahhhh, the mother of all f*ck ups!

I too run a HG T38, but it's not the same as Dave's - who cares about the map (that most won't understand anyway) it works don't it?
