I haven't heard about anything like that and I know drag racers that are running the BW turbos and I have yet to hear Geoff at Full-race say they have had any problems them and he just spent a week at BW just a month ago.

Most likely will be running 40+psi on that turbo. Do you have any links of any threads showing people that have had them fail?

im not knocking their turbos because i have 0 experience with them again just what i have read and since your spending a lot of money on this i might as well send you as much information as i can.

Well I wont be spending all that much money since I am a Full-race dealer and the fact that the owner of Full-race wants me to run that turbo so I am getting a deal on it.



LOL, thats just a huge SHOP pissing match. The guy tries to run 50-60psi out of every turbo he runs.

What about c12? I have a 1.8t w small upgrades. I don't want to mess nething up. So if I run c12 leaded on a stock block w upgraded k03 1/2 turbo will it be ok?

If you are running a CAT still you dont want to run leaded fuel. If you are not tuning the car for the C12 your just wasting your money.

Holy 2 year old thread. For a while I thought Mike's car was finally running again.
