The upgraded Garrett XXXXXX-12's are going to be the best flowing units out on the market for that system and still be able to bolt things back together.

700177-12 chra. How much for two complete units(Comp/turbine housings included ready to bolt on) out the door?

I've been very pleased with Jose and Forced Inductions and will continue to get all my needed turbo parts from them. Glad to have them as a sponsor.

IF you send us your units, the DBB CHRA's, full maching to clearence/radius them would be about $1835.

Hey Jose

How does the higher altitude affect turbos?

I live at a physical altitude of 5500 ft (higher were I actually live, 6500 or so) but the DA in the summer averages 8000-9000ft.

Do the turbos still flow the same?

The downside to this is, the altitude has an effect on where you lay on the compressor map, so unfortunately the turbos will be blowing hotter air 9 times out of 10.

When I got back to WY, I only see about 6-7 psi on the gauge and 125-128 kPa in the scanner. I have to make about 2 Lbs more boost at altitude to get the same manifold pressure as Phoenix.
