Default FS: K27/K29 Hybrid - "Baby K29"

I just recently purchased this turbo for my 930 but decided to go a different direction with the build. Known as a "Baby K29", it is a K27 hot side with a K29 cold side and clipped turbine. It performs very similar to a K27 HF-S with more top-end.

It was recenty rebuilt by Bob at Durabilt and is in like-new condition. No shaft play and no damage whatsoever.

SOLD

What's the difference between this and a K27-7200?

Under equal boost pressures this turbo will have a slight amount of lag but will create much more power once it hits, especially on the top end.

I'm pretty sure that is the same K29 that is on my car. UMW rebuilt mine and was told it has a K27 hot side as well. This turbo pulls up to redline and then some!

It is one hell of an upgrade!

At what RPM are you at full boost?

I don't drive the car very much so I'm a little foggy on it. I put on a whole 700 miles last year and this year is probably less. IIRC, the car started building boost from 2500-2700, full boost from 3200 to 7000 (I was too slow on the upshift and it kept pulling like a freight train). I will need to take her out to verify.

Okay, I brought my car back from my other house and in 3rd gear @35 mph it is pulling 2k. If I get on it lightly, the turbo starts to spool and hits 1 bar by 3k.
