Yeah, we need to see what the BB PTE5558 can do on the stock motor.
They are here and ready to swap in after Bowling Green.
We might find they are the better pump gas turbo. To be determined.
Looking forward to next weeks testing ;)
Me too buddy, very happy with the car thus far.
E85 is going to be crazy and to me, the more impressive data to share.
But we need to prove it at the track.
I hate bench racing dyno numbers.
See you in Bowling Green this weekend ;)
They will 100% be optional, maybe standard.
At the level of the factory motor, I don't think you're going to see much, if any, in the way of gains over the standard PTE6266 BB.
Dyno testing has confirmed them to be nearly identical until you reach very high boost pressures.
On pump gas...
We're going to switch the car over to E85 after Bowling Green this weekend.
Test these turbo's on E85, then test the PTE 55558 and report back.
These PTE 6266 turbos will spool much quicker I feel confident on E85, which is my preferred fuel of choice when available.
More testing today, as we wanted to find the limit of the factory fuel pump with our supplied JMS Chip Fuel Max (Boost-A-Pump).
Well, we found it at 15 PSI, lol....
Still on 93 octane, we added 5 gallons of unleaded race gas for safety and turned up the boost in 1 PSI increments until we ran...
Update:
I can confirm MSD #8731 does indeed work on the 2015+ GT.

If we used Journal Bearing turbos, the kit could be priced cheaper.
But I don't want to compromise on performance and the Precision Ball-Bearing turbos, while about $1800/pair more expensive, are worth the cost we feel.
Keep in mind, were including 1000cc Injectors and a Boost-A-Pump, which...
Two weeks ago we launched our new Turbo Kit for the 2013+ Ford Focus ST and we're currently working on 2013+ Fiesta ST and 2015+ Ecoboost Mustang turbo kits as we speak.
With that said, we are back on the TT 2015+ Development and the car is now ready to make it's debut in Bowling Green next...
Who is BBR?
What wastegate springs are in the wastegates?
They usually come with several and you have to pair the correct springs, for the desired base pressure.
