I recomend it. Along with a bunch of other mods that I did. I no longer have a car. I have a rocket!

Geoffrey what are you saying? I can't believe TB would go with ZC without some published data. Did I miss something? I still haven't seen a dyno showing a ZC vs a nonZC unit. No way right..........TB?

I have done them and they're a massive upgrade over stock turbos.Sorry I dont have dyno results, the work was done up in the Bay area (Devek) and we did do baseline dyno testing. The ECU work was finished down in the Southland(Protomotive), so I felt doing dyno runs on a different dyno would be inconclusive for many here. Next time I'm up north I will dyno again and post.
I think Kevin may have results he will share with interested parties but I'm not really sure.

Seege, thanks... Zero Clearance add to the equation better efficiency of the compressor section of turbocharger for our cars.. If you look through the archives I have written some pretty good articles about the subject. Paul you can email me..

TB is going to be waking up shortly and he'll have some fun with all of us..

I will have a dyno sheet shortly but am not really enamored with or thinking about any HP goals. It's all about lag free torque for me.

Thanks for the recommendation Kevin. I can't say enough about Dan and his shop. I would highly recommend SG.

Pong, I will send you the email in the morning.

Kevin,

Thanks for the up-date. You think there's a chance you'll be re-building a K27 to high-flow spec. any time soon?

I have yet to hear from Viperbob on that front.

Kevin,

You have a link for me to read up on High Flow turbo? Did Bob say that he'd send the unit?

Thanks.
