New turbo goodies - PICS from PRI! Saw some cool new goodies at PRI that I wanted to share with you guys.
New turbo speed gauge!
This thing is awesome, I am getting two for my car and running one on a supercharged car just to see what it does.
New Precision billet wheels and Turbos -
Precision was showing off there new center sections and new billet wheels. Looks very promising in the future, but only time will tell...They also had the new 90 and 114...new GT4271 also.
Anyone else see any new gadgets?

it uses a magnetic sensor that is machined into the cover the control unit is adjusted to the number of blades being counted, then as the blades pass the sensor, energy is pulled from the oscillator. This energy drain is then converted to a digital pulse which can be fed to a display or data logger

Ive seen turbos with the hole driled in the cover for one before. But never actually used a speed sensor.
We fitted a GT30 based turbo to a Subaru, that had its cover modified for a speed sensor, as the turbo guys had used it for development work.
But something that would be affordable and usable for the general public would be excellent.

Mainly used to monitor overspinning. Overspinning causes the shaft and asssembly to start to move in a gyroscopic motion which kills typically the backside thrust bearing and then ends up killing the comp wheel into the cover as well. This happens mostly on efficienct setups like a small cube engine with huge PR's and very little back pressure.

Owens Development has been using these for a while on the WRC rally cars they build.

WRONG. you cant use a magnetic, ie. hall effect sensor on something that's not ferrous. The correct answer would be an optical pickup that counts ONE blade that is generally painted white. This is much less taxing on high speed counter modules. Infact, I don't even know of one that would be able to count individual blades at 160,000 rpm.

Where are you getting that pricing from ??
They list it as £350+vat ( 17.5% ) on their website.
Obviously it would be £350+shipping for export, VAT shouldnt apply.
At todays exchange rate...you are talking close to US$700+postage
