Turbo money has arrived............

They must have adjusted the turbine blade tip to housing clearace. I just tried mine and its to tight without machining it out some. Are they using the same turbine wheel as well. Interesting stuff. Anybody have pictures?

What do you guys think about using a larger turbine housing on the secondary turbo vs tighter one. Obviously your intial spool-up will slow, but your primary might lite better and making more mid and top end power. Lower egt's. I'm thinking about trying two different HX-40's (six blade and a eight blade impeller) and two different turbine housings. What do you guys think, this is just dyno day stuff/drag racing or there any value in this. I have five HX-40, everyone is slightly different. Two have coolant jackets bearing housing off a gen set T04 8.3L cummins. I just changed the turbine housing off my PDR Hx-40, I have something pretty cool.. I also have 14cm turbine housing and a 16cm turbine housing for the T03.
To put it in relative terms, comparing to my old 35/3b set up (wastegate on the hx35 set at 24psi), the bottom BB turbo lites twice as fast (no exaggeration here-- real deal) as the BHT3B to 25psi and this happens before the top wastegate (set at 40psi) opens. This is with the "smaller" EH on top. What I have found is in the new setup the bottom turbo participates a lot sooner and shares more of the load throughout the psi range than my old setup.

I posted this back in the "twin turbo" thread as well so this is a duplicate... but for future "searchers" the answer to the question above is that the bottom turbo goes from 2 psi to 27-30psi in the time it takes me to say "one-thousand-one"... or about one second.
