I was in a 5 mph fender bender that pushed my car up onto a sloped curb. Both front rims were replaced by the insurance company.
Rim #1:
Scratches on Rim #1:
Rim #2:
For some reason, the body shop sanded on the second rim. As such, the dull spots you see are where they sanded...
Guys,
I am wanting these parts for a DIY turbo setup that'll most likely never actually happen. I figure these parts have virtually no value beyond scrap value and that 9 out of 10 guys will end up throwing these parts away after tripping over them for a few years.
I'm willing to pay $200...
Here's how I think about it:
If two of the turbos work on a 5.0 liter engine, one turbo should work well on a 2.5 liter engine. If the twin setup is slightly large on a 5.0, it'll be a bit more oversized for the 2.3...and vice versa.
Have a good day!

Yes, Dan, you're right. If your goal is 800 hp or less, the 55mm turbos are great. If your goal is much above 800 hp, you'll benefit from the larger turbo...at the expense of lost midrange (aka: spool). You can see the boost dropping off on the 55mm combo in the upper RPM.
Have a good day...
The dyno graphs compares a Hellion twin turbo system. The only difference between the two combos is the size of the turbo.

Red line = twin 55mm turbos
Blue line = twin 62mm or 64mm turbos (I forget what size, exactly)...
I originally corrected a post (quoted below, for reference) that erroneously used the water hose analogy...which I corrected with my original post in this thread.
I understand and agree about pushing a small turbo past its efficiency island. I felt that some were implying (the water hose...
I admit to ignoring it. So, for this conversation, do you feel the larger turbo affects all of this enough to make a measurable difference?
I'm assuming the the only change is the turbo. As such, the tubing, intercooler, engine, wastegate, etc remain unchanged should not have any measurable...
I just happenstanced across this thread and read the entire thing. I quoted smdandb2 to reference the topic of this post am using a corrected example of his garden hose analogy. It's been a while since I took these college courses and I'm working from memory. Move ahead to the next post if you...
How does the transmission swap keep a marginal (for the application) driveshaft from breaking? Or, are you thinking the softer hit will keep it alive?
Have a good day!

A couple times, my car had a significant bog shortly after the launch. I thought this was a result of the traction control disliking what the sensors are telling it. I'd be curious to understand the root problem if somebody in the know would take the time to explain.
Have a good day!
