So I've had a lot of people ask me the specs on my Vitesse turbo's so I figured I'd post some measurements and pictures. I even lost a dear friend over it. I also included the standard cell phone pics. I took a picture of the fairy dust but it's like a vampire and won't show up in the picture.

It appears to be 7.5" in total length, 7" on the hot side, and 5.5" on the cold side. Hopefully no other will use these measurements to copy John's work and I hope he doesn’t get mad at me for posting this information. I'll post the stage two info in the next few days......

For the hell of it I threw in the standard cell phone pic. Enjoy.

 

damn. that's big.

 

If thats your cell phone, please dont post pictures of your wardrobe.....

 

Damn Princess! And I thought I had problems fitting my tiny little upgraded turbo into the car.

 

Think Village people meets Wham.

 

You do realize what two brothers are now a part of this forum, right? I'd be a bit more cautious about the type of technical measurements and data I post up about that turbo. You've been warned.

 

It is pretty thou, does Rolex know you stole his compressor housing? And Special Tool his phone?

 

Now now, let's keep it fun. It was 116 in the garage today........

....Jim just lent me the phone for the weekend and it wasn't me that stole Rolex's compressor housing.......even though I am from New Jersey......

 

Speaking of the tool. Him and Lart must be very happy now..

Interesting how different our VRs5's look?

 

I do recognize Patrick's turbo. Jeremy, was the turbo you have coated and polished? I don't recall polishing the compressor housing to anyone other than Rolex? Regardless I like it.

 

PS John, I am just having the 2nd tune done on the car tomorrow with the standalone and they will be turning up the boost. I will let you know the results if I don't do a thread. Here's the chart of the first 'soft' tune. Oh the boost was 9psi and the rpm cutout was at 5500. I will ensure that the next charts are duplicated in hp fl/lb rpms too.
215kw is just under 290whp which is pretty good in view of the parameters. 18psi should see the turbo + head and cam wake up nicely.

 

Hi Patrick, at 9psi the turbo is not even awake Turn up the boost some, 15-20psi will be the sweet spot on a good flowing 3L.

 

Stay tuned...lol (couldn't help myself)

 

Don't believe him guys, Jeremy didn't take those pictures, he photoshopped the Princess phone into someone else's pictures to make it look like his turbo. The proof is the wrench that can be seen in a couple of the pics. I know for a fact that Jeremy doesn't have any tools. Maybe a couple of screwdrivers, that's it.
