Here’s the same setup surging on acceleration. (PSA - don’t let your turbo do this. If you do, please post pics of the carnage.)

Exactly. Now imagine all that happening at 50psi boost and you can imagine what the turbo's compressor is doing.

Does it sound like BW is going to help you out on this?

Don’t know yet. The warranty claim has to be made by the distributor that bought direct from BW so I have to retrace the steps my supercore took to get to me.

Well, it looks like a warranty claim, if it will even get off the ground, will take months. I will have to spring for a new turbo out of pocket to get up and running in the short term.

Boo. Check out this link for some of the better pricing at this time. I’m not pushing the linked turbo, it was just the easiest way to get you to their site. https://www.lmperformance.com/112235...ucer-8776.html

Yup. Already got the price for a supercore they don't list on their website.

What about just replacing the turbine shaft and rebuilding it?

That sucks the warranty process is not quick.

I have a hunch about the new SXE, but will hold my cards close.

You special ordered the one I posted in the other thread didn’t you?

I think the Turbonator should be able to clean up the lag. Mounting may be difficult.

I asked about that. A genuine BW rotating assembly (turbine with shaft and compressor wheel) alone is 98% the price of a new turbo.

Not only is it not quick, it is currently in limbo because I have to trace the supply chain backwards to the distributor that first bought the supercore direct from BW and my first point of contact (TCS) is out of business.

I think these two posts cancel each other out nicely.

That sucks about the warranty, are you going to go bigger on the turbo?

Yes. I think the 366 got pushed beyond its efficiency island.

So that means 400/400s too right?
